Fresh on the heels of TF Sports announcement earlier this week concerning a second Aston Martin Vantage GT3 entry in the British GT, TF Sport have today confirmed that Paul Bailey and Andy Schulz have also rejoined with the team for 2015 but this time for an assault on the GT Cup Championship.

Having been paired up together for the first time last year in the British GT Championship, both drivers and team where able to develop their respective skills in this highly competitive arena and end the season with their heads held high and with some great results in their very distinctively liveried Aston Martin Vantage GT3.

Paul Bailey, a multi millionaire and proud owner of countless sportscars, and his long term driving partner Andy Schulz have already experienced the GT Cup series by attending the Brands Hatch event in early 2014 with his Ferrari 458 GTC finishing 6th in a 35 car multi car class grid.

He and his Horsepower Racing operation also retain the ownership of the Vantage GT3 that Derek Johnston and Matt Bell shall race in the British GT with TF Sport in 2015.

For their new racing venture Bailey and Schulz shall be driving a McLaren 12C as seen at the Autosport Show recently.

2013 sees the launch of the new Aston Martin GT3 Cup, a three race series open to competitors in the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 and DBRS9.

The series is an invitational class within the Aston Martin GT4 Challenge of Great Britain, which is now in its fourth season, and the cars will race alongside the Vantage GT4s at the Silverstone, Donington and Brands Hatch rounds. 

To commemorate Aston Martin’s centenary this year, each of the races will be held over either 100 laps or 100 minutes, with the Brands Hatch round forming part of the Aston Martin Centenary Festival in July.

At each circuit, the series takes prime position in the paddock with our exclusive Aston Martin VIP Race Centre for drivers and guests to relax between sessions and separate garages for all competitors.

Points scored in the GT3 Cup will count towards the Aston Martin Racing Global Challenge.

Calendar:

• 6 April             Silverstone
• 1 June            Donington Park
• 7 July              Brands Hatch GP
