This weeks AMR team news weekly rundown
Thursday, March 27, 2025
Down under sees the Volante Rosso AMR team confirm their strongest driver line up to date within their Vantage GT3 that will run again within the GT World Challenge Series Australia – starting next weekend from Phillip Island.
No stranger to an Aston Martin, sees Liam Talbot join forces with young gun Declan Fraser aboard the teams older 16A variant for this six-round season. This re-alignment in driver personnel comes after Mateo Villagomez, Jamie Day and Jaylyn Robottom did so well within the car at the opening round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge from Bathurst earlier in the year.
From the head image, we can see in the background that the 17A car has change livery design again!
Staying within the SRO family of World Challenge Series, this week’s entry news from its Asia Series sadly saw no return of the D’Station Racing AMR Vantage GT3 (not as a full season entry anyway) but we are hoping for entries within the latter Japan Cup element of the season. Talking of whom, they will be at Fuji this weekend for the final two day Super GT test at their home circuit.
After last weekend’s Iberian Supercars Official Test Day from Estoril, the Racar Motorsport team have gone onto confirm two of their three AMR Vantage GT4 crew who they had testing at the circuit. Regulars with the team Mathieu Martins and Roberto Faria will run again within the Pro class in their #77 machine whilst the #78 Pro entry will be driven by GT4 graduates Henrique Oliveira and Luca Savu.
Familiar AMR related teams across Europe have also been out testing this week – the Team Spirit Racing team are back with one of the Vantage GT4’s competing with Mathias Villadsen within the FX Series GT4 Italy Series. They will be racing at Mugello this weekend.
Finally, the Racing Spirit of Leman have been busy testing at Paul Ricard today amongst their Ultimate Cup Series entries. Each posting the same video clip had Will Orton and David Kullman more than hint of some Vantage GT4 testing with the team there too for maybe even some racing this weekend?

That leaves the third Racar crew to be confirmed as well as whether NGT Motorsports will be running their older Vantage within the Series.

The Earl Bamber Motorsport prepared Team New Zealand AMR Vantage GT4 of Grahame Dowsett was also back in business this week with testing for the forthcoming Thailand Supercar Series at the Chang International Circuit alongside Romain Leroux. Just who will be his co-driver this year is yet to be seen.
