Three Aston Martins for WRL finale from CoTA this weekend
Having started at Nola Motorsport Park way back in February, a massive one hundred and fifty-eight hours of racing has already taken place within the series even before the capacity grid of ninety cars get to the CoTA circuit.
Again, competing their the older normally aspirated version of the Vantage GT4 sees the Automatic Racing team this time enter two cars with another from the Prosport Competition team. Neither team have been full season entrants – either by design or misfortune so this weekend’s events will simply be for personal and collective pride.
Each of the three Aston’s will compete again within the Series GTO class with the #43 Prosport car running with the crew of Mark Doran, Dwayne Moses, Sam Owen and Sean Gibbons.

Usually only running one car in the series to support their IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Series endeavours sees the Florida based team enter two cars – one for their IMSA runners of Rob Ecklin an Ramin Abdolvahabi and another for Steven Davison and Brandon Kidd with team boss David Russell filling in if required (apparently).
At least four hours of track time is available to the teams on Friday before the final two eight hours races are ran over both Saturday and Sunday.

Two Aston Martin back for 14 hour WRL race from Daytona this weekend
Whilst many of us will be transfixed upon the events from the 90th Edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend, over at Daytona the World Racing League will be running a mini version of their own with another of their fourteen-hour race events.
With costs managed by the series to ensure sustainable efficiencies within their clientele, this event again features another multi-class grid of seventy-eight entries which, like always, sells out well before the day.
Featuring again in what will be a local event for one Aston Martin Racing customer team sees both the Automatic Racing and Prosport Competition teams return with their older, normally aspirated Vantage GT4 cars that runs in a Grand Am specification.
Last time out at Road America in May, the GTO #909 Automatic Racing car of Ramin Abdolvahabi, Brandon Kidd and Stephen Davison won the first eight-hour race on Saturday before coming home P5 after Sundays second eight-hour race.
The Prosport Competition will also be back in the paddock having gingerly returned to the series at Road America having missed two rounds thanks to an engine issue earlier in the year. Featuring a driver line up including Pippa Mann again at Road America, the best the #143 car could do was a P6 on Saturday with a P8 on Sunday.
For Daytona, the team will arrive with a driver line up of Mark Doran, Dwayne Moses, Jim Cox and Nick Pearson who will presumably be looking to take the team back to the top of the timing screens.
