Jamie Day scoops the coveted AMR Drivers Academy prize for 2024
Friday, January 10, 2025
Building on previous successes within an Aston Martin over the two previous season’s, Day claimed early seasonal success last year as the Norfolk based Forsetti team entered the upward coming GT4 Winter Series (alongside Mikey Porter) where they enjoyed near dominant performances to take the Spanish/Portuguese based series before his main attentions within both the British GT Championship and GT4 European Series had even started.
Hitting that championship at a more of a gallop and despite having swapped between the outgoing 17A variant to the new 2024 Vantage GT4 Evo, Day and Porter ended their season togther with the Silver Class title before Day then touched into the GT3 class with Prosport Racing at the Spa Francorchamps rounds of the ADAC GT Masters Series.
Presently racing with the Belgian Comtoyou Racing team at this weekend’s 24H Series Dubai 24 with one of their new Vantage GT3 Evo’s, part of Day’s reward was a fully supported factory test within the Beechdean AMR Vantage GT3 at Snetterton at the end of last year under the watchful eye of Jonny Adam.
Day said of his AMR Driver Academy graduation: “I am truly honoured to have won the Aston Martin Racing Driver Academy this year and to have won the support of the Aston Martin factory ahead of 2025. This award allows me to take another step towards my goal of becoming a works driver. I would like to thank the whole of the AMR family for their continued support and helping me progress to the next stage in my career.”
