SRO USA news from the Heart of Racing camp today

Monday, January 13, 2025

 


Just days before the Heart of Racing embark upon their most significant global programme of motor racing yet, starting at the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship’s Roar before the 24 test and Qualifying session from Daytona this weekend, the team also had time today to confirm another exciting driving partnership within another one of their endeavours.

Today’s news saw reiterated the position of Gray Newell moving up to the GT3 class with the SRO America GT World Challenge America Series with one of their Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 Evo with a full season driving partnership alongside AMR Factory driver Darren Turner.


Starting as a racing novice within both the GT America and GT4 America Series with an AMR Vantage GT4 back in early 2021, Newell embarked upon his new career under the guiding hand of Team Manager Ian James before more that mantel was more recently handed over to fellow team racer Roman De Angelis, mainly thanks to the diary clashes with the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Having raced GT3’s on and off within other series including last weekend’s 24H Series annual pilgrimage to the Dubai 24, this season will be Newell’s first full season within GT3 and Turner’s first experience of the SRO America series and many of the circuits scheduled for this year’s seven event, thirteen race calendar.


On top of that news, the team also confirmed the return of their amazing all female driver line up within the GT4 America Series as both Hannah Grisham and Hannah Greenemeier join forces again in what maybe this time, one of the teams new AMR Vantage GT4 Evo that Newell and De Angelis debuted towards the end of last season.


Undoubtedly talented, the two Hannah’s championship ambitions were somewhat blighted with continual class changes having started within the Am class before being moved into Pro-Am before finishing the bulk of last season within the more competitive silver class. Hopefully that issue will be determined before the cars hit the track of Sonoma for the first time in late March.
