Rounding off this weekends Aston Martin Racing customer business
The Japanese Super Taikyu Series runs its penultimate round of the season as the multi-classed series undertake another three-hour round at Okayama.
See the D’Station Racing AMR Team Manager testing out the new ‘evo’ AMR Vantage GT3 earlier this week around Silverstone, his hasty retreat back home first made us hope that the teams Vantage GT3 crew will this time compete, but the provisional entry list saw not with just the Vantage GT8R down to run again.
Running in a two-car class, the #47 car featuring Tatsuya Hoshino, Max Orido, Kenji Hama and Jake Parsons are again in the business of trying to limit the so far dominant KTM crew from clinching the ST-1 class Championship.
With just two rounds remaining, the #47 crew really do need to beat the #2 KS Frontier KTM crew to have any championship potential at the season finale around the teams home track of Fuji at the end of November.
The weekend also sees the next round of the South African G&H Extreme Supercar Series run at the Zwartkops Raceway with Into Africa Racing again fielding their mighty AMR Vantage GT3 in the hands of Stuart White.
Last time out at Killarney, White managed to secure not just a race win but also the lap record around the circuit thanks to adjustments made to the car by the team and attending race engineers.
Finally, we have the final round of the British Endurance Championship at Donington Park this weekend which will now see two Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 teams do their thing.
The MKH Racing AMR crew of Peter Montague and Stuart Hall will be looking to round off their 2023 season in style whilst the Newbridge Motorsport team will debut within the Championship with AMR factory driver Tom Canning and Indian racer Humaira Mushtaq.
The #50 MKH Racing crew need to overcome a seventeen-point deficit to the #21 Venture Innovations Mercedes AMG GT4 crew at the end if they are to lift the GT4 crown.

Eye's upon South Africa next weekend for season opener of the SAGT Series
This time taking place around the Zwartkops Raceway near Pretoria, this opening round should see the presence of both generations of the Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 with the Kalex team again supporting the Paul Hill V12 AMR entry within the Endurance Class and the Into Africa Racing again supporting the Xolile Letlaka/Stuart White driven V8 Vantage GT3.
Whilst the Kalex V12 car has been raced within the South African domestic series for some years now after having been run by the Stradale Motorsport team, the newer generation of race car only made its series debut at the final round of last season at Cape Town when Letlaka and White went on to take both a Pro-Am class win and second place during their debut event.

Again being run with the help of members of various European based GT teams, the driving duo will obviously be looking to continue with that performance throughout the season.
