Aston announces drivers

In its 101-year history, Aston Martin will embark on it's most ambitious racing season yet - coinciding with the tenth year of Aston Martin Racing (AMR). the team will enter four V8 Vantage GTEs in a full season of the WOrld Endurance Championship and as many as seven cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the third round of the championship.

Returning to make a full-season assault on the WEC, after narrowly missing out on the world championship title in 2013, is the #97 Gulf-liveried Vantage GTE of Darren Turner and Stefan Mücke. Having been with Aston Martin Racing since its inception in 2004, Turner joins the team in celebrating the tenth anniversary.

The second of the two LMGTE Pro cars, the Interush-supported #99 Bamboo Rees (BR) ) Engineering Vantage GTE, will be piloted by Aston Martin Racing’s newest signings: session in Portimao last week.
