Comtoyou reveals DTM plans with Aston Martin for 2024
The Belgian squad is considering fielding the latest-spec Aston Martin Vantage GT3 in the series in 2024, with former DTM driver, likely Dev Gore, showing interest. Comtoyou Racing, already committed to GT World Challenge Europe, is exploring the possibility of adding a second program with four acquired Vantage GT3 cars for 2024. Team manager Francois Verbist emphasized the primary focus on GT World Challenge but indicated openness to additional programs due to partnerships with Aston Martin, especially in DTM. The team is in conversation with a customer regarding DTM involvement and is actively seeking to secure the necessary budget for expansion. Verbist rates Comtoyou’s chances of joining the 2024 DTM grid at 50:50, highlighting ongoing discussions and the open door policy towards potential opportunities. Dev Gore, previously associated with Team Rosberg in DTM’s GT3 era, could make a comeback with Comtoyou, aligning with Aston Martin’s presence in the series and the team’s expansion plans.
