Just some of this weeks AMR powered announcements

Friday, January 17, 2025

 


There has certainly been plenty of positive noises coming out of various Aston Martin Racing powered camps this week as various team put their names against various campaigns within this season coming but nothing more than what you would expect them to at this stage of the year.

There has been however, some other news coming out of other AMR powered camps that contained some rather more robust news to suggest that they are actual plans rather than desires moving forward.


Earlier this week, we saw the historic racing Oselli Motorsport team confirm their venerable #95 AMR Vantage GT4 into the GT Cup Championship’s for their gentleman driver Matt Eddolls and today, the Feathers Motorsport team have also confirmed the return of both James Guess and Tom Canning aboard their slightly newer #82 entry.

Whilst we saw Oselli look for willing participants this time last season (to no avail), it will be great to see at least two generations of the Vantage GT4 compete within the six round season starting at Donington Park in late March. We may even get to see a new 2024 Evo model run as well if that different team elects to go that way. None the less, two cars is a great start to the year.


Then, perhaps the bigger news came out today that the Australian based Volante Rosso has backed up upon their earlier disclosure and confirmed their three-driver roster into their entry into the Bathurst 12hr in just two weeks’ time.

Sporting a young but dynamic line up in British GT GT4 Silver Cup champion (and recently disclosed winner of the AMR Drivers Academy process for 2024) Jamie Day and FFSA GT4 Silver Champion Mateo Villagomez. They will race alongside local Supercars and GT World Challenge Asia racer Jaylen Robotham within what we still assume to be a 16A version of the Vantage GT3.


Day was supposed to have raced with the team within the Sydney Motorsport Park round of last seasons GT World Challenge Australia Series but technical issues with the car doing the early stages of that meeting put paid to that with Day then racing one of the team's Radicals at the event after that.

With Bathurst again featuring as the opening round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge, this crew will be running against some formidable opposition around The Mountain.
