Aston Martin Vantage wins in IMSA as The Heart of Racing stars in North and South America

Aston Martin’s new Vantage GT3 recorded its second win in as many races in the IMSA WeaterTech SportCar Championship – North America’s most prestigious endurance series – thanks to a brilliant GTD class victory at the Canadian Tires Motorsport Park for partner team The Heart of Racing [THoR].

The 2022 IMSA GTD champion and former Aston Martin Racing Driver Academy graduate Roman De Angelis (CDN), along with Spencer Pumpelly (USA), delivered an accomplished victory in the #27 THoR Aston Martin Vantage GT3, at Mosport. It was the second time in three years that De Angelis had won his home event.

This follows Ross Gunn (GBR) and Alex Riberas’s (ESP) maiden victory with the car in the GTD Pro class at the previous round, three weeks ago, at Watkins Glen.

The Briton, this time partnered by Mario Farnbacher (DEU), finished fifth in the GTD Pro class at Mosport, bringing the Aston Martin works driver within 60 points of the class lead, with four rounds left to race this season.

The win marked the 13th IMSA victory for the Aston Martin Vantage in the GT classes and was the eighth time THoR had won the GTD class since it first entered IMSA with the famous Wings in 2020.
