The first officially released Aston Martin confirmed today with British GTs new Endurance Cup
Thursday, February 20, 2025
Starting more locally to ourselves, we see the first officially released confirmation of the first Aston Martin Racing powered team to join the British GT Championship as the MKH Racing team mark a return to the topflight UK championship within the all-new Endurance Cup.
Having dipped another toe back into the Championship last season with ad-hoc pairing Ron Johnson and Tom Ingram in a 17A version of the Vantage GT4 platform, today’s news sees team co-owner Peter Montague and Stuart Hall step up from previous involvement within the British Endurance Championship and the GT Cup Championship to that of the British GT Championship within their new 2025 Vantage GT4 Evo.
We understand from post season last year, it was still a tight decision for the bronze ranked Montague as to what competition to operate in this season but with a sizeable amount of testing within their new car already, the British GT’s recent announcement of the Endurance Cup class for GT4 runners may have been the clincher.
“We are very excited to be in British GT; it has been an ambition of the team to compete at this level for some time,” said Montague. “It’s taken a lot of hard work to get here, but we have a very strong and experienced team and are confident we will do our best.
“We have raced with the Aston Martin brand for a number of years, so it’s exciting to be racing the new GT4 Aston in British GT. Stu and myself have been team-mates for some time, and it is a natural progression for the MKH team to progress to British GT.”
The Endurance Cup will comprise of the season’s four longer rounds from Donington Park, Spa Francorchamps and Silverstone starting at the Leicestershire circuit in early April after Media Day at Silverstone in late March.
