Our last round of weekend previews comes in the form of GT4 powered racing as both the Iberian Racing Festival and Britcar Series deliver us some more Aston Martin Racing powered entries to go alongside those already mentioned.

Running this time as a solo, bespoke event for the Campeonato De Portugal de Velocidade Series at the street circuit of Vila Real this time sees just two AMR Vantage GT4 powered crews as listed within the twenty-five strong entry. More used to seeing these names and teams running within the Iberian Supercars Series, this weekend will see just #28 Racar Motorsport AMR of Vasco Oliveira with Manuel Giao compete alongside stablemate Rubens Vaquinhas within his #777 RV7 Team Aston Martin.

 

Last year saw double that AMR powered entry within a smaller overall entry and also proved productive for Vaquinhas who secured two Am class race wins over the weekend to help him on his way to an overall Am Class championship win.

Back within the UK, the Britcar Endurance Series will be running their fourth round of their six-round season with another ninety-minute race at Snetterton on Saturday.

 

Father and son pairing Bill and Martin Addison compete again together within their 17A variant of the Vantage GT4 platform. The pair did also compete together last time out at Spa Francorchamps where one of them did survive a multi-rotation spin at the bottom of Eau Rouge during the heavy rain of Free Practice.

An overall successful return to the Iberian Supercars Series for several of the Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 crews as they battled two challenging street circuit races at Vila Real at the weekend.

Originally listed as having up to seven AMR powered crews within the twenty-three strong entry, the Racar Motorsport team was still able to field four crews whilst the Gianfranco Motorsport team entered one of their own.

 

Its back to the historic racing venue of the Vila Real Circuito Internacional for the mainly GT4 powered crews competing within the third round of the Iberian Supercars Series with another large dose of seven Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4’s amongst them.

Having opened their 2025 campaign at Portimao back in early April and then again at Jarama at the beginning of June, the SRO governed series has seen fluctuating entry numbers so far with nine Aston Martins at the opening round to just four examples next time around.

 

It was podium finishes all round for the Racar Motorsport team as their three crews got the success that they deserved in this weekend’s second round of the Iberian Supercars Series from Jarama.

Although three of four Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 powered crews entered amongst the thirty-three strong, multi-classed field, it was sadly not the same for the NGT Classic entered GTX car of Miguel Ferreira after his freshly re-liveried #700 car failed to finish within Sunday’s opener and for it not to appear within the second race of the weekend.

Congratulations to Alvaro Ramos and his Araujo Competicao team for securing two lights to flag class wins at the weekend during the third round of the Portuguese Speed Series around the street circuit layout of Vila Real.

Usually driving with the assistance of Fernando Soares within the GT4 South Series, this non-championship round of the SRO sanctioned series was a solo effort for Ramos who Qualified his #007 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 onto Pole Position of his elected GTX class ahead of both races before converting those into two class wins.

Presently under its summer break, the GT4 South Series gets back underway at Jerez towards the end of October.
