Volante Rosso confirm a two car GT World Challenge Australia challenge in 2026

Tuesday, March 24, 2026

Despite our trepidation yesterday regarding this weekend’s racing situation as far as Aston Martin Racing powered teams were concerned, news overnight from down under thankfully see us as being proven wrong (again) as there will be a Vantage GT3 pounding the beat around a racetrack after all.

That news has come from the Australian based Volante Rosso team who last night confirmed a two GT3 car entry within their domestic GT World Challenge Australia Series entry which starts this weekend from Phillip Island.

One of those entries will indeed include their older 16A variant of the Vantage which they ran last year with some podium success with what turned out to be varying array of driver talent. This year, however, the team have entered their #14 car within the Trophy Class for their young protégé Alex Gardner alongside Lee Stibbs.

Gardner did start the team off with their AMR acquisition later on in the 2024 season before Liam Talbot and Declan Fraser/Jamie Day competed togther in 2025.
