ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE GT4 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The GT4 Challenge of Great Britain sees Aston Martin Vantage GT4s competing against each other on some of the best circuits in the UK.

Once you have gained your race licence you can take part in the series. You do not have to own your own car, as there are several teams who will do this for you, so all you have to do is to turn up and drive.

At each round we have our hospitality unit providing breakfast lunch and afternoon tea for all the competitors and guests, as well as a place to relax between practice, qualifying and the race.

You can take part in individual events or in the whole season it is up to you.
