The Belgian based Comtoyou Racing team step up this year to fill the void left by Aston Martin Racing and its Partner and Customer team base by having two of their Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3’s accepted into this year’s FIA GT World Cup at Macau.

With the event confirming an eighteen strong GT3 line up at the Macau Grand Prix event, the Comtoyou Racing team have entered by Marco Sorensen and Jamie Day as a two-car entry with the Dane competing within the topflight platinum class and with the Dubai based Brit in a more familiar silver class guise.

 

We apparently have to look back as far as 2015 to witness the last such result of merit from any AMR Vantage GT3 team within this event where German racer Stefan Mucke (someone who is still seen within the GT/sportscar paddock today) secured pole position before going onto finish third in his #97 Craft Bamboo V12 AMR Vantage. 2021 did see David Pun and the Uno Racing team give the new turbo era of Vantage GT3 its first run out around the street circuit layout.

This event is scheduled to take place across the 19th – 22nd November.

This month’s Macau Grand Prix will mark a momentous event in the realms of Aston Martin Racing as the marque again gets represented at the prestigious event for the first time since 2015.

Racing back then with the venerable V12 variant of the Vantage GT3, the Craft Bamboo Racing team entered three such cars into the first running of what was then the FIA GT World Cup for drivers Stefan Mucke, Darryl O’Young and Richard Lyons for which Mucke claimed pole position for the weekend’s first race before eventually finishing P3 in both races.
