Aston Martin Racing enters works-supported entry at Daytona 24 Hours

Aston Martin Racing will contest the 2016 Rolex 24 at Daytona with works team regulars Richie Stanaway, Mathias Lauda, Pedro Lamy and Paul Dalla Lana completing the four-driver lineup.

The weekend, which takes place over 30^th to 31^st January, is the season opener for this year's IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship, North America's premier sports car series.

Following an extensive test session at the beginning of the month, the team returns to the Floridian circuit with their V12 Vantage GT3, confident of a strong finish in the GTD class.

John Gaw, Team Principal of Aston Martin Racing, said, "Racing in Daytona is incredibly important for a manufacturer such as Aston Martin and I am confident that we have the potential to compete at the front of our class. Our drivers are well prepared to take on 2016 and Daytona would be the perfect place for them to seal their first result of the year. It's also a pleasure to be racing alongside our partner-team TRG, who I hope will also have a successful race weekend."
