Aston Martin squad Comtoyou Racing will field a trio of cars in this season's GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup, as well as two entries in Sprint.
The Belgian outfit scored a remarkable victory at last year's CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, giving Aston its first win at the event since 1948. The crew that secured the result – Nicki Thiim, Marco Sørensen and Mattia Drudi – will return to the Endurance Cup aboard the flagship #7 entry.
The team will also field a Bronze class entry in Endurance, with Jessica Hawkins the first confirmed driver. Hawkins raced in British GT last term, recording two Silver-Am class podiums at Donington Park. Her teammates in the #270 machine will be announced at a later date. The same entry will compete in Sprint with Ricardo Baptista and Rafael Suzuki, who claimed last year's Brazilian Endurance GT3 title.
Comtoyou will also maintain a Silver class programme for returning youngsters Kobe Pauwels and Matisse Lismont, who are joined by AMR Driver Academy winner Jamie Day. Pauwels and Lismont will run the full 10-round season, while Day graduates from British GT and will compete in Endurance.
"We are starting this second season of partnership with Aston Martin Racing with strengthened ambitions, supported by our better knowledge of the Vantage GT3 and our drivers," said team manager François Verbist. "In this regard, the team composed of Mattia, Marco, and Nicki has been reassembled, and we see them sharper than ever!
"We also have high hopes for the 'Junior Team' that has warmed up well this winter (Jamie, Matisse, and Kobe), as well as for our Brazilian team that is already performing. Finally, the recent arrival of Jessica, Aston Martin F1 ambassador, also delights us."
The 2025 campaign will officially launch on 10–11 March with the traditional Prologue at Circuit Paul Ricard, which will also host the season-opening Endurance Cup race on 11–13 April.
