Other Aston Martin Racing customer team related news this week

 

In other Aston Martin Racing powered team related news comes confirmation of another successful national GT4 class champion moving up to the European theatre of GT3 racing as well as another taking the step up to GT racing for the first time.

Today news saw the inaugural SRO Academy winner Gaspard Simon take the plunge with his FFSA GT4 winnings to take the significant step up into the GT World Challenge Europe with the German based Walkenhorst Motorsport team.

 

 

Being listed as competing at Brands Hatch, Misano, Magny-Cours, Zandvoort and finally at Barcelona are clear signs that the youngster will be competing within the Sprint Cup Series with an as-yet unidentified co-driver.

Whilst we had already heard from the Comtoyou Racing team and their GT World Challenge Europe aspirations within both the Endurance and Sprint Cup Series, this is the first news to come out of the German powerhouse who also entered both series last season.

 

 

The other news came earlier this week with the Italian based Gino Motorsport team confirming an AMR Vantage GT4 entry within the new GTC European Challenge Series which will be another series racing both GT4 and TCR based cars together.

Having raced within the Italian XGT4 Series last season, this is the first customer package announcement to come from the team as they confirm Brazilian racer Tiago Pinto within one of the older Vantage GT4’s after he only started racing last season.
