British stars strengthen Aston Martin's Le Mans lineup

Aston Martin Racing will attack the GTE classes of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2020 with three ultra-competitive lineups, after announcing British endurance aces Harry Tincknell and Richard Westbrook will complete its GTE Pro roster for this year's French classic.

The experienced Westbrook joins FIA World Endurance Championship GTE Pro leaders Nicki Thiim and Marco Sorensen in the #95 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE for Le Mans.

Having raced for three separate manufacturers prior to signing with Aston Martin, Westbrook is a multiple race winner in the GT Le Mans class of the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, as well as a class winner of the Daytona 24 Hours and the Sebring 12 Hours and has twice stood on the podium at Le Mans.

Meanwhile, Tincknell from Devon was a class winner at Le Mans on his race debut in LMP2 back in 2014.

Having enjoyed spells with three high profile manufacturers, the 2016 European Le Mans Series champion went on to score multiple wins in the GTE Pro class with Ford and outright wins in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship prototype class with Mazda, for whom he will dovetail his racing commitments this year. He joins his old friend and sparring partner Alex Lynn and Maxime Martin in the #97 Vantage GTE.

The lineup of the #98 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE Am entry, driven by Paul Dalla Lana, Darren Turner and Ross Gunn remains unchanged for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
