Three Astons ahead of GT Cups Silverstone 100 event this weekend
Three generations of the Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 are also expected – the oldest and the newest models from the Oselli Motorsport team whilst the championship contesting Feathers Motorsport entry represents the one in the middle with their 17A variant.
Representing the fourth round of a six-round season, there will also be two sprint races ahead of the 100-minute endurance round so there will again be plenty of championship points up for grabs this weekend.
After the previous round at Snetterton back in early June, the #82 Feathers entry of Tom Canning and Archie Clark have slipped from the top of the overall championship table to now sit thirty-two points back from the present GT3 powered leader, but they do still lead their GTH class by forty-nine points going into this round.
The new Vantage GT4 Evo of the #95 Oselli car of Matt Eddolls and Sam Maher-Loughan presently lay in fourth within the GTH class having swapped to the latest version of the GT4 (and class of entry) a couple of rounds ago. The previous car is again listed (and it sounds like that it will be there this time around) for Chris Valentine to run within the GTA class as a solo Invitational entry.
Morning practice on Saturday starts the track action ahead of Qualifying and the first solo driven twenty-five-minute sprint race after lunch with a second sprint race rounding the day off later on. Another practice and Qualifying session starts the day off again on Sunday before the start of the 100-minute race at 13:10hrs local.

Two Astons start well within the GT Cup Championship from Donington Park
Welcoming back both the #82 Feathers Motorsport and the #95 Oselli Motorsport Aston Martin Racing powered teams with their new look driver pairings saw both sets of crews score well within their respective classes over this weekend’s two sprint and one endurance races.
Feathers Motorsport had their new look and much younger pairing of Tom Canning and Archie Clark as the latter stepped into the racing shoes of James Guess less than a couple of weeks ago. Despite his younger years (even in comparison with former AMR Drivers Academy winner, Canning), it was a class GTH podium each time after both of Saturdays two twenty-five-minute sprint races for Clark with a P1 and P2 respectively.
For the more venerable #95 Oselli entry of Matt Eddolls and Sam Maher-Loghnan, it was a same story again for their GTA classed entry as they also replicated that 1-2 finish.
Over to Sundays final 100-minute endurance race, it sadly wasn’t to be a triple header for the #95 crew as they were forced into retirement at the halfway mark, but the #82 Feathers crew did achieve that feat themselves with their P9 overall – P1 in class finish to round off a good weekend for them.
The next round will be from Brands Hatch in six weeks’ time.
