Plenty of water has passed under the metaphorical Aston Martin Racing bridge since the end of the 2018 British GT Championship with so many teams committing to buy and race multiple units of the factory's new 2019 specification Vantage GT3 and GT4 both at home and abroad with order books at record proportions.

One such fan favourite team confirming early to face the challenges of the 2019 British GT Championship season was Andrew Howard's Beechdean AMR squad who would, for the first time since 2016, return to the British GT Championship with both a GT3 and a GT4 car. Joining Howard and Marco Sorensen (who would race together in their brand new turbo charged V8 Vantage GT3) would be the 2018 GT4 Pro-AM runners ups Martin Plowman and Kelvin Fletcher who would race in the teams brand new turbo charged V8 Vantage GT4.


Having spent the last season and a bit with both the Stratton Motorsport and the RJN Nissan squads, Plowman teamed up with TV star Kelvin Fletcher last year aboard a rejuvenated Nissan 370Z GT4 to push hard towards the top step of the GT4 Pro Am class, missing out to the Team Parker Racing Mercedes AMG GT4 of Scott Malvern and Nick Jones almost by virtue of their DNF at the final round at Donington Park.

Fletcher proved himself to be one of the faster and more capable amateur drivers in the GT4 paddock last year and developed into race winning material under the watchful eye and instruction of the former Le Mans 24 LPM2 class winner. "Hungrier than ever" as they have been quoted to say, the duo will look to improve upon their championship outcome this season from the start despite being with a new (but highly experienced team) and in a new car.


Having originally intended to catch up with Plowman at the recent Autosport Show (but missed), he kindly agreed to take some time out of his schedule to give us a little background to what he has been up to since Donington and just how those choices came about.

So - what have you been up to then Martin?

"It’s been a much busier than usual off-season for me. It’s the first time in a long time that my racing program has been confirmed before Christmas so that definitely took some stress away over the Christmas period. On top of working with a new team and preparing for the season I have also started an online motorsport engineering degree and to top it off I’m training to run in my first ever London marathon."
"The engineering degree is probably the hardest as I left school at 16 to pursue my racing career so there are a tonne of mathematics that I haven’t covered and I’m essentially cramming 4 years of study into a 3 month module that covers the maths I need to move forward with the course!"
"As for the marathon training, it’s no more intense than what I would normally do for a pre-season, but naturally it’s hard getting your body in shape for the longer distances. I just have to remember why I’m running and the money I hope to raise for Whizz Kidz. They’re a fantastic charity that I was introduced to last year that do so much for children with disabilities."

Having time over these long, dark winter nights to trawl through the internet for the tiniest snippets of information that could be pasted together into something meaningful for the forthcoming season does sometimes come up with something interesting.

Catching our eye this week was a posting on his own Facebook page of young Danish single seater racer Jan Jonck having privately tested an Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage GT4 with both Beechdean AMR and MacMillan Racing as he looks to progress his racing career in 2017.


Taking information from his posting, these tests were both conducted at Donington and were his first visit to the circuit despite competing in a part season in the UK with Sean Walkinshaw Racing's in the BRDC F3 series.


We will wait and see if he can come up with a package that would allow him to progress up into GT racing with one of these teams as it will great to have a Danish presence back in the British GT paddock again.

Due the sheer number of trophies to be awarded, the Tower of London found itself as a worthy venue for the SRO's annual Night of the Champions presentation gala last night.

With TF Sport's Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 acting as a rather apt sentry on the door the function formally concluded the season for all three SRO sanctioned series, the British GT, European GT4 and Blancpain GT Series  for 2016.


With the British GT championship having the greater Aston Martin Racing car participation and first up on the itinerary, it was TF Sport together with Jonny Adam and Derek Johnston who collected the GT3 Team, GT3 Drivers and Pro Am Championships. Johnston also collected the Gentleman Drivers Trophy whilst Adam was declared the fastest GT3 driver (as if we didn't already know!).

What a year 2016 has been for TF Sport with both this and further European success.


After claiming the GT4 Championship for the last two seasons, Beechdean AMR and Jack Bartholomew just missed out on the triple having to settle for the runners up position after a somewhat bumpy season with first Jordan Albert and latterly Ross Gunn, one who certainly helped him secure the GT4 Silver Drivers title. Bartholomew is due to announce his 2017 plans soon.


Unfortunately, with only one AMR participant within the ranks of the Blancpain GT Series there was
little celebration to be had but over in the European GT4 Series it was the Belgium Street Art Racing and Jerome Demay who secured the Am Driver Championship. That team is now looking to involve itself with a two car package in both Pro and Am classes in both of the SRO's (new for 2017) GT4 North Europe and GT4 South Europe Series.

Beechdean Aston Martin Racing (AMR) endured a difficult final round of the 2016 British GT season, but managed to successfully secure second in the GT4 drivers’ standings.

Driver Jack Bartholomew, a GT rookie, also took the Silver Cup Championship. Overall the team have had a decent season and Bartholomew certainly delivered more than expected in his first year.

Beechdean AMR driver Bartholomew started the 2 hour “Donington Decider” race with a genuine chance of taking the 2016 British GT, GT4 title. Bartholomew and outgoing British GT4 champion Ross Gunn, took a comfortable pole position for the Sunday two hour race. Unfortunately, the pairing dropped off the pace in the final stages of the race due to a rare technical problem to the Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT4 #407 car.

Reigning British GT Championship winning squad Beechdean Aston Martin Racing (AMR), will be back in action this weekend at Donington Park (10th and 11th of September), for the 2016 British GT Championship finale. The two hour race is the ninth and final race of the season and will be the last chance for each driver and all the British GT teams to score some championship points.

Donington Park, that famously held the 1993 European Grand Prix, has been popular with drivers for many years. The 2.498 mile lap starts with the high speed downhill ‘Craner Curves’ before heading uphill towards two medium speed left-handers at Mclean’s and Coppice. The lap is then concluded by the Esses and two slow speed hairpins.

This coming weekend will see the team’s three cars back in action. Following the unexpected withdrawal from Snetterton, after damage to the car in round six at Spa Francorchamps, the Aston Martin Vantage V12 GT3 car returns to the track. Last week the team announced that the GT3 will be driven by Andrew Howard and Rory Butcher. The duo, who have a competitive history, pair together for the first time and should present a strong challenge for the other drivers in the class.

Team owner and driver, Andrew Howard commented on the upcoming finale at Donington saying “Having been involved in British GT since 2004, it is going to be a strange day driving in what will potentially be my last British GT event. But I am excited as ever to be racing in such a competitive field and am looking forward to one Scot beating another”

Butcher, who has spent the season competing against Beechdean AMR and Howard, in ELMS commented on the upcoming race saying, “I am looking forward to joining Beechdean AMR and Andrew this weekend, and I am thankful for the opportunity. It has been a full year since I competed in British GT and driven in the GT3 category, so it is really exciting to be back in the paddock, especially with the reigning champions. It will certainly be interesting to see how Andrew and I can challenge the GT3 field at the season finale.”

Ross Gunn continues his paring with Jack Bartholomew in the #407 Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT4, after the duo had a successful two races at Snetterton. The pairing, took second in the seventh round and a win in the eighth round. Both Bartholomew and Gunn are ready for battle and are hoping for a strong race, ending the season on a positive note.

Gunn commented on the final race of the season saying, “It’s great to be driving this weekend at Donington in the Beechdean AMR GT4. Snetterton was very encouraging for everyone in the team and I will be pushing as hard as possible to make sure that title stays in the Beechdean family.”

Bartholomew, who is looking forward to his end of season race at Donington commented on the upcoming weekend saying, “The car, the team, Ross, and I are prepared. It is not going to be an easy weekend but I am ready for the challenge. It's been an awesome year up till now I've learnt so much. Now it’s time to take what I have learnt and fight for the title - bring on the battle.”

Finally, celebrity baker Paul Hollywood and reigning British GT4 Champion Jamie Chadwick complete the weekend’s line up, and are in the #408 Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT4. The pairing joined forces and started their season together at Spa Francorchamps - Donington will be the fourth and final round for the pairing. Despite getting off to a slightly rocky start, both Chadwick and Hollywood now have a solid understanding of each other’s driving style. Teamwork prevailed for both of them at Snetterton, which saw them walk away from the eighth round with a very respectable sixth place.

Chadwick, who recently starred on Blue Peter, commented about the upcoming race stating, “I am eager to get back in the Beechdean #408. Following our recent top-6 success at Snetterton, I am keen to emulate our previous strong form this coming weekend.”

Hollywood - who is still relatively new to British GT - had an outstanding race at Snetterton, commented on the upcoming final race at Donington, saying, “I can’t wait for Donington. Last time I was there was in 1993, watching the great Ayrton Senna in a very memorable European GP. It is a challenging track, which I’m looking forward too.”

Following in the footsteps of many a talented young driver, Jordan Albert today achieved the honourable status of being selected onto the BRDC Rising Star programme

Joining the likes of Jamie Chadwick, Seb Morris and Jody Fannin the BRDC scheme is only open to drivers under 24 years scouted by a member of the BRDC Selection panel where the BRDC acknowledges the potential to succeed in that individual's racing career

Unfortunately for Albert, he misses out on the last two rounds of the British GT season with his Beechdean AMR co driver (Jack Bartholomew) at a critical stage in their GT4 championship due to 'circumstances beyond his control'. That puts him under additional pressure to find a competitive drive during 2017 in order to remain on the BRDC scheme.

We wish him well.

Following the announcement that the GT3 will not be competing at Snetterton, further update about the team and other changes have now come to light. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond his control Jordan Albert has decided to retire early from the season, leaving British GT and Beechdean AMR.

Albert drives the Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT4 car and makes up one half of the pairing, who are currently leading the Silver Cup driver standings and are second in the British GT GT4 drivers’ championship. The duo, who have had a successful debut season so far have impressed the team with their professional attitude and skill. The young driver, who has shown great potential and talent and a true dedicated to the sport has announced he will be departing from the Beechdean AMR and the championship. The team are understandably disappointed by the news of his departure but understand that the decision - which was not made lightly - is sadly unavoidable due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control.

Team owner, Andrew Howard commented on the news of Albert’s departure stating “Jordan has delivered more than we could have expected for his first season in British GT and driving a GT4 car. He is an ambitious young man and a skilful driver who has a promising career ahead of him and we wish him every success in the future.”

Reigning British GT championship winning squad Beechdean Aston Martin Racing (AMR) encountered a difficult weekend at Spa Francorchamps for the sixth round of British GT. The team’s GT3 and GT4 cars ran into trouble during the 2 hour race, resulting in the #407 GT4 car being the sole finisher.

Beechdean AMR was one of the few teams not to test at the 7.004 km circuit in Belgium. The Aston Martin Vantage V12 GT3 car qualified at a very respectable sixth place and was driven by team owner Andrew Howard and Aston Martin Racing factory driver Ross Gunn. Unfortunately the pairing retired from the race on lap one after a collision with a European GT4 car. The #1 car driven by Howard at the time was found to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. “It is disappointing to retire from the race on lap 1 with damage, but motorsport can be like this sometimes”, commented a frustrated Howard.

Nineteen year old Gunn added, “These kind of results are incredibly difficult to swallow, however being able to drive the GT3 car in Qualifying on Friday was a steep but useful learning curve for me. Hopefully I will be back there soon”


Paul Hollywood and Jamie Chadwick driving the #408 Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT4 suffered from a similar feat to their GT3 team mates. Hollywood was making steady but impressive progress through the GT4 field during his stint before a small mistake on the exit of ‘Fagnes’ on lap eight. Heavy damage was caused to the car and therefore an early retirement was inevitable.

“I’m on a steep learning curve.” stated celebrity baker Hollywood. “Spa was an incredible experience. I was happy with my pace and lines and felt I learnt a lot. I’m looking ahead now to Snetterton.”

Reigning British GT4 champion and BRDC Rising Star Jamie Chadwick said, “It was great to be back within the Beechdean AMR team this weekend at Spa! Unfortunately the race result was not a fair representation of Paul’s pace and progress over the course of the weekend.”

Fellow GT4 youngsters Jack Bartholomew and Jordan Albert endured a character building weekend at Spa Francorchamps. The pairing headed to east Belgium leading the championship, but knew they would have their work cut out for them with no previous Spa race experience and an additional 50kg in weight being added to the car.


Bartholomew plummeted to the back of the field in the early laps after contact with a European GT4 car but proceeded to make ground on his competitors in front. Albert was handed the car over on the fringes of the top 10 and the Silverstone based driver duly went on to secure four crucial championship points.

“The race weekend at Spa Francorchamps was always going to be a tough one for us as a pairing”, said Bartholomew. “After the collision in the early laps it was then a case of making the best of a bad situation”

Beechdean AMR youngsters Jack Bartholomew and Jordan Albert managed to secure a GT4 podium finish in what was a crazy fifth round of the 2016 British GT Championship. 
  
The #407 double British GT championship winning car kept well clear of any drama - the storyline of the race - to secure its second podium finish of season. In changeable conditions, Bartholomew and Albert showed maturity way beyond their years to secure third and head into the second half of the season leading the championship standings. 
  
"I am really happy with a podium at the Silverstone 500." Commented a satisfied Bartholomew. "The whole team did a tremendous job with the pit stops and strategy under challenging circumstances. I can't wait for Spa." 
  
Team mate and local star Albert said, "The conditions were very tough and tyre strategy had a massive play in the race. It was one of the hardest races of my life, and securing P3 feels very rewarding. The team did a great job and it was awesome to have my family and sponsors at my home race." 
  
For Double British GT champion Andrew Howard and reigning British GT4 champion Ross Gunn, things weren't so rosy. The GT3 pairing were in the mix for a podium position during the first two hours of the race. However a slight coming together with a GT4 car and tyre strategies going awry in the changeable conditions meant the Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage V12 Vantage GT3 car had to settle for a disappointing ninth place. 
  
"In changeable conditions and a grid of 51 cars, many things can go wrong." Stated team boss and driver Howard. "Our pace was strong but damage resulting from a GT4 incident meant the result does not reflect this - on to Le Mans." 
  
Aston Martin Racing Factory Driver Ross Gunn said, "The Silverstone 500 with unsettled weather and lots of GT4 traffic can often be regarded as a lottery. Things were initially looking promising for Andrew and I but unfortunately things didn't pan out that way. The pace was strong however, making me excited for Spa."

Reigning British GT Championship squad Beechdean Aston Martin Racing (AMR) intend to hit back this weekend at what is considered to be their home race - the infamous Silverstone Grand Prix circuit - for the fourth round of the 2016 British GT Championship. Known as the ‘Silverstone 500’, this race will feature the series toughest test with a three hour endurance race.

Oulton Park two weeks ago was a difficult weekend for Beechdean AMR GT3 drivers Andrew Howard and Ross Gunn, when the pair rack up two pit stop infringement penalties. This coming weekend, a clean race will be the priority. The double championship winning Aston Martin Vantage V12 GT3 will enter the three hour race without a success penalty, and therefore have a strong chance to challenge for a podium position.

“Silverstone is the home of British Motorsport and a highlight on the British GT calendar.” Stated double British GT Champion Howard. “Silverstone has been a good circuit in recent years for Beechdean AMR, so hopefully we can get some points.”

Nineteen year old Aston Martin Racing Factory Driver Gunn commented, “It’s a privilege to be racing the Aston Martin Vantage V12 GT3 car at Silverstone GP, the home of British Motorsport and the BRDC. After a tough weekend at Oulton Park, Andrew, the team, and I are determined to fight back.”

Beechdean Aston Martin Racing (AMR) claimed a GT4 class victory and GT3 podium position at the second round of the 2016 British GT Championship at the Rockingham Motor speedway.

Beechdean AMR GT4 drivers Jack Bartholomew and Jordan Albert put in an impressive display over the course of the 2 hour endurance race to rise from fifth on the grid to an eventual second. However following a post-race steward’s enquiry, the winners were excluded from the race for an on track infringement, promoting the #407 “Baby Beechdean” to its first class victory of the season.

“Coming second was great, but when I heard we had been promoted to the win, I was pretty ecstatic,” commented Albert. “I thoroughly enjoyed the race.”

Bartholomew Added, “This is an amazing way to end round 2, everything seemed to fall in to place for us and by staying consistent and out of trouble we managed to make up places and be where we needed to be when it counted. Hopefully we will continue to fight for podiums in the future.”

Andrew Howard and Ross Gunn had another competitive showing in the Aston Martin Vantage V12 GT3, clinching their first podium of the season. Howard was on the receiving end of contact on the first lap that pushed him into the midfield from his second row start, but recovered to hand the #1 car to Gunn in fifth. Gunn was able chase down the competitors ahead, eventually finished a close third.



Reigning British GT3 Champion Andrew Howard said, “It’s always disappointing to have a damaged car so early in a race, I still don’t understand why people feel they can win a race in the first few corners. The car was difficult to drive but stable enough to maintain a midfield pace.”

“We scored some great points today!” stated Gunn. “The pace in the race was competitive. Our performance was encouraging considering this is one of our weakest circuits. Andrew did well to recover from the earlier contact, and I was happy to be challenging the guys in front at the end.”

British GT returns to the picturesque Oulton Park International Circuit on 28th-30th May for the championships first of two double headers.

Reigning British GT Championship winning squad Beechdean AMR is raring to go for the second round of British GT at Europe’s fastest banked oval circuit, Rockingham Motor Speedway this weekend.

The team had a promising start to the GT3 and GT4 championship campaign - after a disrupted first encounter at Brands Hatch - Beechdean AMR will be looking to pounce on the opposition at the Rockingham Motor Speedway. Double British GT champion, Andrew Howard and Aston Martin Racing factory driver Ross Gunn, racing in the Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage V12 GT3, currently lie fifth in the British GT Drivers standings.

Having charged through the GT3 field on route to fifth place at Brands Hatch GP, Andrew Howard stated, “British GT has a really strong GT3 category in 2016 and Rockingham will suit the new cars. It won’t suit the Aston Martin Vantage V12 GT3 but points would be great in our development year.”

Team mate Ross Gunn commented, “Rockingham is probably the most challenging circuit on the British GT calendar, due to its length and abrasive surface. So far the car is performing on the Pirelli tyres, so hopefully we can score some points again.”

The opening round of the 2016 British GT Championship saw Beechdean AMR’s GT3 and GT4 cars both finish fifth in their individual classes. Reigning British GT Champion, Andrew Howard and Aston Martin Racing factory driver Ross Gunn were able to show an abundance of pace all weekend.

Howard and Gunn were forced to start at the back of the GT3 grid for the 2 hour race at Brands Hatch. The GT3 car was unable to take part in the British GT AM qualifying session on Saturday, due to Howard's ELMS commitments at Silverstone.

Despite the setback Howard was able to make waves in the first stint, gaining 6 places in the first hour - much of which was held under a Virtual Safety Car period to repair barriers from an earlier multi-car incident. At the hour mark, a quick pit stop and driver change ensured the #1 car joined the circuit in fifth place. Gunn, now at the wheel fought hard to find a way past the Lamborghini in front, but to no avail with the race being stopped 22 minutes before its intended conclusion.

Howard commented on the race saying, “We had no expectation due to starting at the back of a strong field, so finishing fifth was a real shock. It's was a shame we got so little racing but it’s a great venue”

“I have really enjoyed the first weekend of British GT.” commented Gunn “The car was well balanced all weekend and I felt comfortable driving it. Andrew did a great job in the first stint to overtake almost half of the GT3 field. This is a great point’s haul considering where we started”


The double British GT GT4 championship winning Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT4 car, driven by GT newcomers Jack Bartholomew and Jordan Albert finished a creditable fifth. Despite Brands Hatch being a circuit normally ill-suited to the Aston GT4’s, Beechdean were hunting for a win all the way until the latter stages. A clash with a GT3 car at Paddock Hill bend put paid to their chances and thus the team had to settle for points and no podium.

Following the race, Jordan Albert commented, saying, “It was a decent first British GT weekend overall at Brands Hatch. It was good to grab some points, and now we know what to expect for the next race at Rockingham. Overall it was a great team effort this weekend.”

Team mate Jack Bartholomew repeated this sentiment saying, “I went into the weekend with no real expectations. We made a good, fast and well timed stop. The team did an awesome job. I learnt a lot and I can't wait for Rockingham!”

It’s great to have the continued support of Beechdean and AMR this year, and hopefully Andrew and I can get some points.”

New drivers, Jordan Albert and Jack Bartholomew, will be at the wheel of the highly successful Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT4. Jordan Albert commented on the upcoming race saying “Brands Hatch is one of my favourite tracks.

Further Beechdean AMR driver announcements to be made in the coming weeks.

Andrew Howard, Beechdean AMR Driver and Team Principal:

I am extremely excited with signing both Jack and Jordan for our British GT4 campaign in 2016. It’s great to see youngsters coming into sportscars and our aim is to give both drivers the platform to demonstrate their skills in British GT next year. We had a fantastic 2015 by winning the Championship with a round to spare and our goal is to have another successful season in 2016 with Jack and Jordan.


Jordan Albert, Beechdean AMR Driver:

I’m extremely happy to be joining the Beechdean AMR team and racing in the British GT championship in 2016, they’re proven Championship winners and with their support I’m aiming to be competitive right from the first round. I have tested the Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4 car and immediately felt comfortable. As it is my first season in a GT car it’s going to be a challenging year ahead but I am fully focused on the task. After racing for two years in single seaters I feel the time is right to make the switch to GT racing and have been working very hard to make this happen. I am also very happy to be racing alongside Jack Bartholomew, we raced against each other this year in the BRDC F4 championship and get on very well, I think we will make a very competitive partnership.


Jack Bartholomew, Beechdean AMR Driver:

I am thrilled to have signed with Beechdean AMR for the 2016 British GT championship as Beechdean AMR are one of the most professional teams in the GT paddock. They have an excellent team of people who will help me develop as a GT driver. At the end of my season in BRDC F4,I tested several cars including the Aston Martin Vantage GT4 and decided that the GT championship was where I want to be in the long term. Signing for the current championship winning team will be the perfect way to start my GT career. I am also happy to have Jordan Albert as my partner for 2016 and having raced together this year, I know how competitive he is and I am sure we will be successful together.
