Five Aston Martin Vantage GT4 crews venture down to IMSAs Mid-Ohio event this weekend
Monday, June 02, 2025
This will be the third round of the season so far for the LMP3/GT3 and GT4 powered crews as just twenty of them will compete within the two available races this time around. After visit to both Daytona at the Roar before the twenty-four test and most recently from the Circuit of the America back in early March, it will again be just the #72 Rebell Rock Racing AMR Vantage GT4 of Frank DePew presenting the brand within the GSX class entry of ten GT4 cars.
At CoTA, DePew secured his first podium finish of the season with an opportunist drive during race one of that weekend to score a P3 finish within the Bronze Cup. Unlike CoTA, DePew will be back to his double racing duties between the two series again.
Then within the Michelin Pilot Challenge Series, they will be racing their fourth round of the season after rounds at Daytona, Sebring and most recently at Laguna Seca just a month ago with another four-hour event like the opening round of the season.
This weekend’s entry list shows no surprises within the AMR powered ranks as just four Vantage GT4 crew compete alongside a further nineteen GS class (GT4) crews alongside that of a further fifteen TCR based cars.
Both Team TGM entries for the #46 of Matt Plumb/Paul Holton and the #64 car of Ted Giovanis and Hugh Plumb (with Kris Wilson again as third man) alongside the #15 Van Der Stuer entry of husband-and-wife team Christine and - Ben Sloss. The #71 Rebel Rock entry for DePew, Robin Liddell and Andrew Davis complete the AMR powered entry.
It is the #71 Rebel Rock crew that presently lead the AMR way within the overall points, but they lag at 50% of that of the present championship leaders so there is still a lot of work to be done this season.
The first of the two VP Racing Sportscar Challenge races and MPC Qualifying will be on Saturday with the other two races on Sunday.
