Aston Martin set for Vantage GT4 Nurburgring debut

Aston Martin takes on its second 24-hour race in as many weekends when it contests another landmark GT racing event in the 2019 calendar - the ADAC TOTAL 24 Hours (N24) - staged on the world famous Nurburgring Nordschleife (22 to 23 June), with four Vantage GT4 machines.

Straight off the back of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where the Aston Martin Vantage GTE completed its first season in the top-flight FIA World Endurance Championship, the Vantage GT4 will make its international 24-hour race debut in the N24 - perhaps the world's toughest long-distance race.

The works AMR Performance Centre will run a two-car entry in the SP8T class for close-to-production cars, featuring an all-star driver lineup that includes three-time Le Mans class winner Darren Turner and Aston Martin High Performance test driver Chris Goodwin, who join Christian Gebhardt in the #36.

Meanwhile AMR Junior driver and W-Series championship leader Jamie Chadwick and former ELMS champion Alex Brundle will team up with N24 veteran Peter Cate in an all-British lineup in the #37 GT4.
