And ultimately that’s what we are here to do.“We want to provide a fantastic car to race in for gentlemen drivers, but of course we want to be having cars racing right at the front of their classes.”In terms of the car’s main selling points, Carter cited the new Vantage GT3’s “aerodynamic efficiencies”.“Aerodynamics is always critical,” he explained. “If you’ve got the car on its aerodynamic platform then the drivers can extract the most from it in terms of downforce and balance.“We’ve been sleeping in stress when talking about aerodynamics and applied that to this car to make it better, but it’s not a completely clean sheet design to address any areas. We’ve taken the learnings from where we were, we’ve applied that.“But I think most importantly is the integration in a Map2P TM platform within the vehicle, that’s completely unique to Aston Martin Racing, and it’s something that’s coming out of our GT Pro car. It’s taught us a lot about how we handle design intent, the aerodynamics.“And ultimately that shouldn’t go underestimated. It’s the thing we are most excited to be closing out development with.“It’s not luck, we’ve taken it from Map2P platforms and have applied that to the new GT3. It’s really effective.”
