An Aston Martin Racing entry finally takes on Pikes Peak this weekend
Driven by Steve Wetterau and supported by the BBI Autosport team, aside from a few ‘club’ events at the California based Thermal Club, this will be the first competitive outing for the Pikes Peak Rookie Wetterau.
Despite that, training runs up the near 12.5 mile ‘street’ course have been going well with the #85 car leading his GT4 Trophy class in the latest batch of training runs this week with a best of 4:19:334 giving him a 16 second cushion from his first to the last car in class on the lower stages.
Today (Thursday) see the GT4 class move onto a similar time attack process upon the middle stages of the route and will continue in a similar vein for the rest of the week before ‘race day’ on Sunday.

A new Vantage GT4 Evo powered entry takes on Pikes Peak later this month
In previous years we have seen Aston Martin Racing powered entries within the annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb event come and go – or not materialise as has been the preceding form, but this year we actually have one confirmed entry.
Racing a new AMR Vantage GT4 Evo will be Steve Wetterau and his #85 Pikes Peak GT4 Trophy by Yokohama entry from the California based BBI Autosport team.
Seventy-four multi-classed entries are listed against this year’s 103rd running of the event which will take place later this month up the infamous twelve-mile mountain road.
Looking at the team’s social media, they have been practising with their new car at the Thermal Club in California for a few weeks now – what will happen with that driver/car/team relationship after the event, however, is yet to be seen.
