Another set of chalk and cheese results for KMB Motorsport after their Bathurst finale
Rounding off their 2024 season at the iconic track at Bathurst, the older V12 generation of AMR Vantage GT3 saw yet another driver line up as Valentino Astuti was this time paired up with Liam Dunn within the #38 car for this seventh and final round within their now customary Trophy Class entry.
Again running as the sole Aston Martin within the series after the Volante Rosso pulled their newer turbo charged 16A version of the car from the final two rounds of the season, the #38 pairing did not disappoint during race won after they capitalised upon the misfortune of the then class leading Ferrari to take the class win to add to their others from earlier in the year.
That, however, was countered with a technical issue of their own during their pitstop of race two that saw them lose a fistful of laps and whilst still running on track at the end, were listed as a DNF to round the year off on something of a low.

Sadly, the team do not figure within any class confirmation from the series as they only list both the Pro-Am and Am classes from a season’s results perspective.
What will become of the KMB Motorsport entry for next season we do not know, but we do know that the Sydney based Volante Rosso team have the parts and the desire to rebuild their GT World Challenge Australia efforts in time for next season’s opener wherever and whenever that may be once everything is confirmed by the SRO Series.

One Aston Martin Vantage GT3 after all for Bathurst finale
Today’s publication of the entry list confirms the return of the #38 KMB Motorsport V12 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 that regular driver Valentino Astuti will share with Liam Dunn within their Trophy class.
The team were absent from the proceedings at the previous round from Sydney Motorsport Park but last time out but did score a class second within the second race of the GT Festival meeting on Phillip Island back in late August.
This is great news considering we had confirmation of the Volante Rosso’s withdrawal from the meeting after (undefined) technical issues sidelined the #14 V8 turbo version of the Vantage platform in the early track session of the last meet at their home track in Sydney.
