Rounding through the remaining race activity for Aston Martin Racing powered teams sees some class success within the GT4 based runners whilst others have rounded their 2026 seasons off more quietly around the world.

In no particular order, the #7 Mirage Racing AMR Vantage GT4 crew of Grant West and Alex Bachoura secured class podium success on Saturday as the American based racers secured a P2 GT4 Am class podium finish within their penultimate race of the season from the Paul Ricard circuit in southern France.

 

Still fresh to both the series and the team after the previous occupants to the car moved across the team garage to another brand of car, the pairing went onto secure a P4 finish in class at the end on Sunday – enough to hopefully entice them back next season?

That class success was mirrored by the #007 CSM Motorsport crew of Ismaeel Ellahi and Ayrton Houk as they secured a P3 silver class podium finish at the end of the final race of the GT4 America Series from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

 

With the team having just swapped over to the Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 chassis just a couple of months ago and dabbled within mainly the IMSA family of series, this result proves that they can also be competitive within the SRO sanctioned GT4 series as well. Whilst Ellahi and the team have already been confirmed within the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Series next year, maybe there could be some SRO races undertaken too in 2027.

Sticking at Indianapolis, the #71 Rebel Rock Racing AMR Vantage GT3 was also in attendance at the joint GT World Challenge America and Intercontinental GT Challenge finale at the circuit.

 

With both Frank DePew and Robin Liddell again behind the wheel, they were joined by their third driver in Andrew Davis for this extended eight-hour race. Having started their 2026 season with a race win within the Michelin Pilot Challenge with their Vantage GT4 before swapping over to their new Vantage GT3 for the SRO series, this finale was something of a wind down for the team as they elected to pit with still over an hour of the race clock to go.

Back into Europe and the Nurburgring Langstrecken Serie were running their last four-hour race of the season around the infamous Nordschleife “Green Hell” circuit which saw both the Walkenhorst Motorsport and Prosport Racing teams return with their mix of Vantage GT3 cars.

 

Despite previous successes for both teams within their own Pro/Pro-Am and Am sub-classes of the SP9 overall class for GT3 based cars, this finale would have left a slight bitter taste in their mouths as neither the #35 Walkenhorst or #37 Prosport Vantage GT3 would take the chequered flag.

That leaves just the European Le Mans Series running of their final four-hour race of the season from Portimao in Portugal with the #59 Racing Spirit of Leman AMR Vantage LMGT3 of Clement Mateu, Marius Fossard and Valentin Hasse-Clot again all behind the wheel of their silver arrow for one last time.

 

Despite stepping away but then coming back to the team for this finale, Mateu did claim another P2 position on track during qualifying but that was later moved back to seventh in class after the application of an earlier penalty for the driver after Imola.

With no championship possibilities for the team and crew after something of a torrid 2026 season, the drivers delivered their best performance of the season to claim a just off the podium P4 finish at the end.

 

As with all teams, cars and drivers – we now enter into that long winter period whilst we wait for drives and packages to be confirmed where they might be.

It’s now that sad time of year when we see many race series and championships come to their natural conclusion with both the ACO rules European Le Mans Series and Michelin Le Mans Cup Series no different as they both travel down to Portugal for their final races of the year.

Round six of their 2026 seasons sees a forty-four car, multi-class grid travel down to the Autodromo Do Algarve near Portimao for their final four-hour race alongside the LMP3/GT3 powered grid of the Le Mans Cup Series who will see off their final two hour race with their forty-seven strong grid.

 

As far as Aston Martin Racing powered teams are concerned, the #59 Racing Spirit of Leman AMR Vantage LMGT3 has again been the sole full season representative for the British marque within the series this season but even that hasn’t come easy for the team with multiple driver changes forced upon them.

Starting the year with a driver crew line up of Clement Mateu, Valentin Hasse-Clot and Marius Fossard – all went ‘well’ as far as racing was concerned whilst the results may not have been preferable until the third round of the season from Imola.

 

After that, Mateu stepped away from the team and series citing family reasons (always a very valid point) but hoping to be back as and when situations changed and for the next round of the season from Spa Francorchamps, his and Hasse-Clot's (who was committed to IMSA that weekend) places within the team-were taken up by both Anthony McIntosh and Parker Thompson but as just a one-off entry.

Next time and last time out at Silverstone, the crew was back to Fossard and Hasse-Clot but this time with fellow countryman François Heriau joining the #59 car for what turned out to be another ‘difficult’ round to the season.

 

However, that has all gone full circle now as Mateu has confirmed his immediate return to the car and team in time for this seasonal finale from Portimao that features both a maximum grid entry size within a series that still has all of its available class championship titles up for grabs. The #59 crew of whatever combination is already massively out of championship contention this season so this race will be all about pride and just what come into play for them all next season.

Track action begins on Thursday with the first of two Free Practice and bronze driver sessions over that day and the next before class qualifying on Friday before the final race is waved off at 14:30hrs local on Saturday.

The Racing Spirit of Leman Aston Martin Racing powered team will have left Silverstone yesterday as equally as frustrated as they did the round before at Spa Francorchamps as yet another race within the European Le Mans Series saw them struggling for overall pace.

Having had to revise the three-driver line up for the third time in as many races with Frenchman Francois Heriau this time joining his countrymen Marius Fossard and Valentin Hasse-Clot within their #59 AMR Vantage LMGT3 for this penultimate round of the season.

 

The initial settling in period for their new driver looked promising within last Thursday’s private test where the #59 figured amongst the fastest in class over those two sessions before rebounding up, down and then up through their class again during the two Free Practice and bronze driver test sessions before then heading into Qualifying.

During that session, Heriau did eventually finish third fastest within class on track at least before he was (post session) adjudged to have impeded another car for which he received a three-position pace drop ahead of the start to Sunday’s four-hour race.

 

What had, however, gone unseen by us at the time was the change in BoP for their car in-between Spa and Silverstone which meant for a big reduction in both the car’s overall power and energy availability albeit touched with a slight reduction in its minimum base weight so with Silverstone always being a speed circuit – the loss of outright speed together with longevity on track would always come at a cost overall in performance.

Track action got off to its now usual chaotic self as the forty-five cars of the LMP2, LMP3 and LMGT3 classes jostled for position during those opening laps under what was still then a warm and drying track after some overnight rain left for some tricky conditions offline. During that time Heriau settled into a mid-class P7 racing position to end his first hour behind the wheel in a similar position.

 

As the race entered its second hour, the forecasted rain eventually arrived at the Northamptonshire circuit – gently at first and not necessarily presenting itself as too much of a problem before the rain slowly intensified over time with the ever-changing track condition lead to various issues on track with contact. The first major incident came at the ninety-minute mark when two LMGT3 cars tangled at the end of the International Straight that would bring out the Safety Car for the first time.

By the time the race got back to green some forty minutes later, it was definitely full wets all round as rooster tails became prevalent as the #59 car found itself unable to make headway in class as its bronze driver finished his minimum drive time.

 

Into the final ninety minutes and the #59 car did elevate itself up to as high as sixth in class with Fossard behind the wheel so there was still time on the race clock if only the car had the speed and control in the wet as further Full Course Yellows again interrupted the racing. Fossard would, however, become victim to the next such caution as he would spend an elongated visit to a gravel trap just prior to their final stop where he would eventually swap over to Hasse-Clot. However, the damage had already been done to the teams race as since lost a lap to its rivals in class and like their memories of Spa – once you lose the lead lap, there is nothing that you can do about it with the series not operating any wave arounds.

The #59 car would again finish the last of the LMGT3 runners, tenth in class but with championship hope already long gone that mattered not other than yet another dent to their already dented pride as the series moves onto Portimao in a months time.

 

 

With nearly one hundred multi-classed cars competing within two ACO rules series next weekend gives the destination of Silverstone as a mighty fine choice if you’re looking for something worthwhile to watch at not so bad a price.

The European Le Mans Series and Michelin Le Mans Cup Series are just part of next weekend’s racing line up as the two European series battle out their penultimate rounds of the season with forty-seven LMP2, LMP3 and LMGT3’s featuring within the ELMS event and further LMP3 and GT3 based cars within the LMC event.

 

Last time out within both series at Spa Francorchamps just three weeks ago we saw driver changes enforced up several of the four Aston Martin Racing powered team entries as both diary clashes and changes in personal circumstances too effect – as well as the effects of current motor racing pressures.

Within the ELMS, the #59 Racing Spirit of Lemans AMR Vantage LMGT3 had seen both Clement Mateu step away from the remainder of his envisaged 2026 racing programme with co-driver, Valentin Hasse-Clot also suffering from a diary clash with his ever-increasing IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship commitments leaving just Marius Fossard holding the fort.

 

In stepped both Anthony McIntosh and Parker Thompson to co drive the #59 car with Fossard in Belgian but having claimed class pole position, an unseen error/incident towards the end of McIntosh’s stint that saw the car nose-dived into the tire wall. Whilst the car was recovered to the circuit (relatively undamaged) the time and laps lost during that recover meant that their race was all but done as they eventually finished last in class and a lap down.

This time around for Silverstone, both Hasse-Clot and Fossard are back in the saddle and will be partnered by fellow Frenchman Francois Herieu – another bronze graded driver already well versed with the pressures of ACO rules racing within the FIA World Endurance Championship.

 

Then, within the Le Mans Cup Series we welcome back the #10 Racing Spirit of Leman AMR Vantage GT3 of Philipp Sager and Valentin Hasse-Clot alongside the #11 Code Racing Development AMR of Pascal Huteau and Viny Beltramelli as well as the #91 Ecurie Ecosse by Blackthorn AMR of Claude Bovet and Tom Canning.

Again, Hasse-Clot was absent from this race in Spa as his place was taken by Fossard who, alongside Sager protected their championship lead by coming home fourth in class whilst the two debuting drivers within the #11 Code Racing developments entry claimed a much-deserved P3 podium finish at the first time of asking. The #91 crews run of bad luck within the series sadly continued as an apparent brake issue/fire forced Canning to stop on track whilst then running in a podium contending position for yet another DNF upon the timing and scoring screen.

 

Hopefully, all that incident and accident is now firmly behind then as the ELMS entry look forward to another four-hour race on Sunday with the LMC grid starting their penultimate two-hour race on Saturday.

Mid-race misfortune unfortunately affected an otherwise solid run from the impromptu Racing Spirit of Leman Aston Martin Racing Vantage LMGT3 crew yesterday as they tried to convert their earlier class pole position into something more meaningful.

Racing in what was the fourth round of the European Le Mans Series from the Spa Francorchamps circuit in Belgium, the #59 Racing Spirit of Le Mans team had already been forced to seek out another capable and adequately funded gentleman driver after the shock news beforehand that Clement Mateu was stepping aside for both family and financial reasons.

 

The team fortunately found that American racer Anthony McIntosh was again willing to put his money where his mouth was with the team having exercised a similar option last year with the team when their FIA World Endurance Championship driver Derek DeBoer found himself in a similar position. He would bring with him his more usual co-driver of parker Thompson to race the Aston Martin alongside the more established team driver Marius Fossard.

We understand that McIntosh may have been feeling under the weather going into this race weekend and had at a point considered his continuation within the programme but his effective last lap dash in the very damp conditions of qualifying to claim the LMGT3 Class Pole Position would have persuaded him otherwise.

 

Getting underway for this four-hour race on Sunday, McIntosh secured his position at the head of the pack during the usually chaotic few laps (and as would again prove correct) with many of those in prototypes thinking that they could win the race within the open hour with the first Safety Car intervention called before the end of the opening lap. McIntosh would go onto use his race experience gained within the FIA WEC to maintain his class lead throughout these early cautions, but he would eventually lose the lead thanks to a longer first stop.

Dropping down to fourth in class, all was still looking well within the #59 car as lap times remained competitive to those around him but continued and multiple car incidents on track again forced Race Control to intervene – again destroying the fluidity of the race itself but it was at the restart to the Safety Car period just short of the second hour where the race would all go horribly wrong for the #59 crew.

 

Having been backed up and tightly together behind the Safety Car for some notable time whilst two cars were extracted from the gravel, unseen events around the #59 car would eventually see the silver machine nosed into the tyre wall at turn nine after the downhill rundown from the tighter hairpin at Bruxelles. Replays would suggest no apparent contact, but the result of the event was never in doubt as they lost track position and then (more importantly) a lap to the pack just as the bronze drivers minimum drive time was coming to an end.

Despite being towed out of the gravel with damage no more visual than two missing door mirrors, the race for the #59 crew was still effectively done as the series does not operate a wave around system when behind the Safety Car, so there was no chance of recouping that lost real estate to the pack.

 

Whilst the #59 crew would not be finishing last as others either faltered on track or crashed out of the race, they would be the last of the runners as the final two hours of the race passed by and through to the bitter end with the crew eventually being classified as finishing twelfth in class – one lap down to their peers.

Next stop for the series is at Silverstone in about three weeks’ time.

September’s final round of the 2026 British GT Championship will now also see the end of another era within that domestic GT sporting arena as Andrew Howard today confirms his competitive driving retirement from the sport at the end of this season.

Racing this year with another of his and his Beechdean AMR’s many home-grown success stories in Aston Martin Racing factory driver Ross Gunn aboard his #007 AMR Vantage, this news seals a racing career for Howard that stretched back over twenty-seven years.

 

Being one of those much needed ‘Gentleman Drivers’ within the modern GT racing environment where success on track is in no comparison to their success needed off track in order to place both themselves and their chosen resident Pro into that racing situation in the first place, this decision could not have been easy for him.

Indeed, only last weekend at the British GT’s round at Snetterton did we have a brief exchange across the paddock about the possibilities of him getting aboard some of his V12 powered AMR weaponry next year that he said, “but I’m having so much fun this year!!”

 

Over the years, we have seen Howard progress up the racing ladder from his initial Mini Miglia Challenge efforts back in 2002 through to then GT4 racing a few years later, into the new GT3 platform for the first time in British GT in 2009 before reaching the then pinnacle of the GT racing platform in the GTE class for the first time in 2015. The last six – seven years of his career have been back within the GT3 class and particularly within the British GT Championship where he has won either his class or overall title three times now. Winning the European Le Mans Series GTE Drivers Championship alongside Darren Turner and Alex McDowall would surely be the highlight to his career?

 

Anyway – that is for later this year but for Howard, Gunn and the team, after two challenging races last time out at Snetterton, they will have just two – two-hour races left to their British GT campaign later next month within which to overcome their existing points deficits (both in the overall and Pro-Am Driver championships) if there is to be any repeat in history if there is to be any fairytale type ending to this chapter – but stranger things have happened!!

 

All being well next weekend, it should be back to a full three Aston Martin Racing powered contingent for the fourth round of the Michelin Le Mans Cup Series from the Spa Francorchamps circuit in Belgium.

As surmised with our previous European Le Mans Series preview also at the circuit next weekend, the only change affecting these three AMR Vantage GT3 entries will be within the #10 Racing Spirit of Leman team as Valentin Hasse-Clot will be stateside and racing within the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship.

 

That means that his fellow ELMS co-driver, Marius Fossard will indeed be taking his countryman’s place within the #10 car which he will now share alongside GT3 Championship leading Am driver Philipp Sager. After winning the class this years extended Road to Le Mans race back in June, the Sager/Hasse-Clot combination now lead the ten strong by twenty-seven points going into this round, but any points scored in Belgium by the #10 car will obviously now be at the detriment of Hasse-Clot.

 

They in turn will again be joined by the #11 Code Racing Development AMR of Sebastian Moreno but with a co-driver yet to be confirmed after two have already completed racing duties with the French outfit so far – an outfit that has shown real pace in qualifying but have so far been unable to secure the points finish at the end. Their P5 finish at Le Mans in June has been their best result to date despite taking two pole positions at both Barcelona and Paul Ricard earlier in the year.

We also welcome back the #91 Ecurie Ecosse Blackthorn AMR Vantage GT3 of Claude Bovet and Tom Canning after Bovet found himself unable through apparent injury to participate at Le Mans which in turn saw both Giacomo Petrobelli and Romain Leroux take their places in the event. History shows that this year’s Road to Le Mans race was not a happy event for the team with both cars retiring after just a handful of laps for the opening driver.

 

The team and usual crew have, however, been testing at Spa Francorchamps over recent days in preparation to this race next weekend but it appears we may also be enjoying yet another livery design for that car too!!

In the rather timely manner in which they operate, the European Le Mans Series confirmed their entry list earlier today ahead of their fourth round of the season from Spa Francorchamps, Belgium next weekend.

Only yesterday were we writing about the unfortunate departure of Clement Mateu from the Racing Spirit of Leman Aston Martin Racing Vantage LMGT3 powered team and the series with us (then) just how that would have impacted upon the team for the remaining half of the 2026 season.

 

Well, today’s news from the series has confirmed that Anthony McIntosh will indeed be returning to the team (for at least this event – maybe more) in lieu of Mateu having done similar last season when Derek DeBoer also found himself unable to complete the second half of the FIA World Endurance Championship with the Swiss based squad.

Thanks to another clash between the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship and the ACO rules ELMS series, the #59 RSLM driver Valentin Hasse-Clot also finds himself committed to racing stateside next weekend meaning that there were actually two seats going spare within the #59 car. Today confirmation has seen Hasse-Clot’s position being taken by Canadian racer Parker Thompson whilst the remaining full season driver, Marius Fossard completes the driver line-up for the team as they run a bronze/silver/silver format this time around as the #59 car makes up the confirmed forty seven car line-up.

 

 

With the Le Mans Cup Series also supporting the ELMS in Belgium, Hasse-Clot’s absence will also enforce a driver change within the #10 Racing Spirit of Leman Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 entry that he shares with fellow class championship leader, Philipp Sager. We understand (although not yet confirmed by the series) that Fossard will be double dutying between series for the team this time around.

That change will come off the back of their class win at Le Mans.

Whilst yesterday we were sharing some good news from within the Aston Martin Racing powered camp, today sadly sees the need to share some sadder news with you regarding Clement Mateu and his European Le Mans Series campaign this season.

 

Posting today upon his social media, the Frenchman confirmed that his 2026 ELMS campaign with both the Racing spirit of Leman team and their AMR Vantage LMGT3 as well as co-drivers Valentin Hasse-Clot and Marius Fossard, ends with immediate effect.

 

Recently blessed with another addition to the Mateu family, he described how additional costs of his ELMS and Le Mans 24Hrs endeavours so far this season have now become unsustainable for him to continue despite the best of efforts from himself and his partners. 

 

This news comes out (into the public domain at least) just over a week before the fourth round of the ELMS season from Spa Francorchamps. Hopefully, the team has been given more notice than this to search for a suitable bronze graded replacement to allow for the #59 crewed car to continue in Belgium and at the final rounds of the season.

 

Within the ELMS series, a bronze graded driver is a mandatory requirement within the LMGT3 class. 

For an astute businessman and a proud father that he is, we feel that this decision (although hard) is precisely the right decision for him and his family and that he should and can be proud of his achievements so far!

Despite their pace, this weekend’s European Le Mans Series visit to the picturesque circuit of Autodromo Enzo E Dino Ferrari at Imola, Italy proved itself to be another disappointing affair for the Racing Spirit of Leman LMGT3 powered team.

After Clement Mateu had narrowly missed out upon a class podium starting position for today’s four-hour third round of the season for the #59 Aston Martin Racing Vantage powered car that he shares with Marius Fossard and Valentin Hasse-Clot, all of that effort eventually counted for nothing as heavy contact at the midway point of the race left the car stricken at the side of the track.

Starting just after midday with air temperatures quickly rising into the early thirties, Mateu initially held his ground at the start as the pace setting Corvette scampered off during the opening laps. The race quickly descended into multiple periods of Virtual and full Safety Car periods which then gave teams options on strategy and by calling Mateu in early, that did drop him down to seventh overall in class as the race again tried to settle.

Those early efforts were quickly hampered by Race Control after Mateu was given a Drive Through Penalty for a start line infraction and that did drop them down to near the rear of the fourteen strong class for the bulk of Mateu’s double stint.

 

As the race was approaching its midway point and the end to Mateu’s time within the car, the Frenchman had elevated himself back up the order to seventh and was looking to improve that still further as he attempted a possible double overtake going into Variante Tamborello. Realising his error, Mateu attempted to cut the first section of the corner only to impact heavily into the side of the #63 Mercedes which left that stranded in the middle of the gravel and the Aston Martin sidelined just a little further along with each car paying no further part in the race.

 

The team and crew will now have to regroup and go again at the next round of the season from Spa Francorchamps in late August.

The Racing Spirit of Leman Aston Martin Racing powered team are certainly looking feisty and up for a fight this weekend to hopefully see their European Le Mans Series season finally kickstarted into action this weekend.

This time competing at Imola, Italy in what is already the third round of a six-round season, the #59 AMR Vantage LMGT3 have been looking very quick all weekend so far – taking their earlier top end in class pace from the two collective test sessions into both Free Practice sessions, finishing no lower than third in class.

 

That was with co-drivers Marius Fossard and Valentin Hasse-Clot helping the car along the way, but they had to leave Qualifying up to their bronze rated Clement Mateu again for that session.

Eventually having to settle for second best in class at the end of his nine-lap session having first secured the top slot before losing to to the TF Sport Corvette on more than one occasion, he at least will have a clear front row view of the lights as the race then descends into its usual four-hour format tomorrow.

It will be two months since their previous round from Paul Ricard in southern France that the European Le Mans Series last did battle together but for some, there was also the small business of the 24 Hours of Le Mans to deal with in between.

This weekend sees the racing return of this ACO rules series as forty-seven LMP2, LMP3 and LMGT3 powered crews get ready for their next four-hour battle around the Autodromo Internationale Enzo E Ferrari at Imola, Italy and for us that means the return of the #59 Racing Spirit of Leman entry.

 

The 24 Hours of Le Mans wasn’t too kind to the team three weeks ago in terms of the performance got out of their Aston Martin Racing Vantage LMGT3 compared to their stablemates along the pit lane after the crew of Clement Mateu, Marius Fossard and Valentin Hasse-Clot finished that endeavour P11 in class – the latter two drivers do arrive in Italy with ‘momentum’ under their belts having taken a P3 class podium in their opening IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship race with the new YRB Racing Car Blanche team at Watkins Glen last weekend.

The previous two races within the ELMS series have also been challenging affairs for the team with a P10 finish in Spain despite Mateu qualifying in fourth before a similar P10 finish in class last time out at Paul Ricard. The #59 car again makes up a LMGT3 class of fourteen cars.

 

Seeing that the usually supporting Michelin Le Mans Cup Series ran their inaugural three-hour race at Le Mans earlier this month, they don’t figure back onto the ELMS timetable until their next round at Spa Francorchamps in August.

The trucks have already rolled, and the teams are now on site preparing themselves for what will be an elongated stay at the Circuit de La Sarthe in time for this weekend’s official test day ahead of next week’s FIA World Endurance Championship round and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

In this somewhat disjointed season after the postponement of the scripted opening round to the year in Qatar back in late March, next weekend’s event will be the third round to the 2026 season having opened at Imola in mid-April before moving onto to Spa Francorchamps last month for its second six-hour race of the year.

 

 

As has become something of a norm, all the attending teams and indeed crews (if new to the 24-hour event) must attend the official test day at the circuit during which all ‘novice’ drivers must complete a minimum number of laps (as well as a simulator session in Paris) before they will be allowed to race.

For the two Heart of Racing Aston Martin Valkyrie Hypercars – that will not be an issue to them as all six drivers have raced that car at the circuit last year as have many of the three Aston Martin Racing Vantage LMGT3 crews from both the Heart of Racing and Racing Spirit of Leman crews.

 

The four Heart of Racing entries remain the only four full season entrants from the British brand with the #59 RSLM crew only there by invitation from their European Le Mans Series endeavours this season as it appears that the second reserve from the Ecurie Ecosse by Blackthorn AMR team has been unsuccessful in their quest this season.

A total of sixty two Hypercar, LMP2 and LMGT3 crews should be in attendance this weekend for the test day on Sunday where there will be two three-hour sessions available to then within which all teams must do whatever is necessary to prepare them and their crews for next week’s opening sessions for the 24hour.
