Aston Martin Racing began tests of its new V12 Vantage GT3 at Brands Hatch in Kent this week, covering almost 1000 kilometres in two days. The majority of the mileage was conducted by factory driver Darren Turner. The design and engineering of the new V12 GT3 endurance racer has been led by Aston Martin Racing’s Chief Engineer for GT, Dan Sayers. The team is now embarking upon a rigorous development and sign off program, which involves extended testing of the car at competition speeds to ensure the longevity of all critical components.
