Seven Aston Martin Vantage GT4 crews also kick off their SRO America campaigns this weekend
Tuesday, March 25, 2025
The seventeen cars entered within the mixed GT3(SRO3) and GT4 class of the GT America Series this year sees one returnee and one all new entry as many of those Aston Martin Racing powered team and driver names of previous years have now onto racing pastures new.
The sole AMR returnee is that of Tim Savage who this time around swaps his AMR Vantage GT3 for his AMR Vantage GT4 having struggled to get to grips with his GT3 over last season before resorting to his GT4 at the final round last year.
He will be joined by the all new 2025 entry from the Van Der Steur Racing team and their young gun Max Hewitt who this year steps up from karts to GT4 – not for the first time this year of course, after Hewitt competed within the early GT4 Winter Series back in Europe with the Racing Spirit of Leman team and their Vantage GT4 Evo.
These two will compete within an expected total grid of seventeen cars, ten of those being GT4’s.
Then within the more popular GT4 America Series, we should have five AMR Vantage GT4 crews competing amongst a restored grid size of thirty-one entries, albeit subdivided into their respective Am, Silver and Pro-Am classes.
The #26 Heart of Racing entry for Hannah Grisham and Hannah Greenemeir need no introduction having competed within the series last year (in all three classes we recall) but this year their return with a Vantage GT4 Evo within the silver class for sure.
Archangel Motorsport are also a familiar name to us, but Todd Coleman has now long gone to GT3 based racing, but the team return with a new driver pairing of Adrian Comstock and Thomas Merrill within their #15 Pro-Am entry. The Skip Barber Racing School also dipped in and out of both SRO and IMSA GT4 racing last year and their return with brothers Alex and Micael Garcia within their #07 Am class entry.

The final two entries are from the new AMR convertee team JMF Motorsport who will field a pair of silver class entries for both Jesse Webb and Jonathon Neudorf within the #3 car and Braydon Arthur and Mike David Ortmann (yes, that one from Germany) within their #4 car.
The number could have been higher as we are aware of at least the Triple 2 Motorsport team changing their minds upon both platform and series despite earlier announcements.
The bronze ranked GT America Series will race two forty-minute sprint races whilst the GT4 America Series will run two hour long, pit stop punctuated races over the weekend.
