There was a debut podium finish in class for the American pairing who took over the Mirage Racing Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 within the FFSA GT4 Series penultimate round of the season from Magny-Cours.

Racing the car previously completed with by both Daid Levy and Jodie Sloss (as they move across the Mirage team garage to their new Porsche entry), that left the renumbered #7 car entry assigned to both Grant West and Alex Bachoura.

 

Previously scheduled to race the Aston Martin at Spa, West and Bachoura (two previous Mazda MX5 racers) had to wait until this weekend before making that dream come true.

Race one on Sunday had seen the #7 car fail to finish but at the end of the second hour long race, the pairing had managed to secure a P3 finish within their Am class.

Heading into this weekend’s penultimate round of the French FFSA GT4 Series from Magny-Cours sees another change within the sole Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 powered entry from the Mirage Racing team.

For the opening two rounds of the season, the #5 Mirage Racing Am classed entry was again piloted by both David Levy and Jodie Sloss where the pairing had rekindled some of last years successes together with a pair of class podium finishes at Nogaro before winning the class in both races at Dijon-Prenois.

 

At the next round from Spa Francorchamps in June, Levy suddenly transferred over to the #24 JSB Competition Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 leaving Sloss to see what quickly become a thorough forgettable event alongside Nicolas Siebenschuh. Following an unseen incident with another car within the pit lane for Sloss, that sadly saw the #5 car sidelined for the remainder of the event with Siebenschuh never getting a competitive run out in the car.

 

The entry list for this weekend’s trip to Magny-Cours is now out and we again see a return of the Sloss/Levy combination but not within the Mirage Racing AMR Vantage GT4. Whilst they will race within the team’s #5 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 for the first time, the team’s #7 Aston Martin Racing powered entry will be driven by the series debuting crew of Grant West and Alex Bachoura – again within the Am class.
