In other Aston Martin Racing powered news this week sees the opening to applications today for this years intake of ‘pupil’s for AMR’s Driver Academy programme.

Open again to anyone between sixteen and twenty-six years old and racing an AMR Vantage GT or GT4 within any recognised mainstream series this year is eligible to apply to receive a multitude of on and off-track guidance along the way before being in chance of winning a significant financial contribution towards their 2027 racing programme.

Last year’s title was of course won by the young Belgian racer Kobe Pauwels after he (and the previous AMR Academy winner) Jamie Day secured the Silver Class championship win within the GT World Challenge Sprint Cup with Comtoyou Racing in their Vantage GT3.

 

Next, we have seen a post come out on social media from the GBR Stratton Motorsport team for potential racers within their British GT Championship AMR Vantage GT4 programme have announced a two-car entry into the 2026 season last year.

Just how many drivers they are after is yet to be seen but they did confirm potential test dates for any interested parties at Donington, Snetterton and Silverstone.

The necessary contact details for both the Academy and GBR Stratton requests can be seen within each respective image.

 

 

We have seen the Portuguese based Racar Motorsport team confirm their acquisition of at least one new Vantage GT4 for this season’s racing activities (yet to be confirmed) having secured both the Iberian and CPV drivers titles within the Iberian Supercars Series with their 17A variant.

 

 

Lastly, we (sadly)see the offering for sale of the former 2 Seas Motorsport/Verstappen.com AMR Vantage GT3 that was used by Thierry Vermuelin, Harry King and Chris Lulham to win the Gold Class within last season’s GT World Challenge Endurance Cup Championship seeing their recent move back to the AMG platform.
