Two Aston Martin dice for the Bronze Cup prize in Michelin Pilot Challenge finale this weekend
Tuesday, October 07, 2025
Another bumper packed forty-three strong GS and TCR based entry for this weekend’s two-hour finale in support of the main Weathertech Sportscar Championship Petit Le Mans event sees the #64 Team TGM AMR Vantage GT4 crew of Ted Giovanis and Hugh Plumb battle it out with the #15 Van Der Steur AMR Vantage GT4 of husband-and-wife duo Ben and Christine Sloss for the GS Bronze Cup title.
Title defenders from last season of course, sees the #64 crew hold a slight one-hundred-and-twenty-point lead over Christine Sloss (Ben having missed a couple of rounds earlier in the season) but that deficit is easily assailable for the #15 crew should class results go in their favour.
We also welcome back the #46 Team TGM AMR of Paul Holton and Matt Plumb as the outgoing champion (Plumb) and his team mate desperately look for a decent finish to their 2025 season after having qualified usually so well but not able to convert that into a credible challenge again this season. The #71 Rebel Rock Racing AMR of Frank DePew and Robin Liddell will also be looking to end another year in the saddle together on something of a high as the green car had a tendency of attracting unwanted race ending contact with themselves during earlier rounds for the two crews to sit P9 and P10 respectively in the drivers table going into this final round.
There is also a reappearance of the #8 89X Motorsport AMR Vantage GT4 of Mike Fitzpatrick plus a co-driver yet to be confirmed. This season has seen Fitzpatrick and his team partake within various high-profile races within both IMSA and SRO sanctioned races with his older 16A variant.
The start to this final race will begin at 12:45hrs local time on Friday.
