You"ve probably seen plenty of cars getting a bit of air at the N rburgring. But how many have looked as cool as this? It"s Aston Martin"s new Vantage GT3 racecar, and it made its Nordschleife debut at the weekend. It didn"t win, though it did qualify on pole and go on to take fourth place in the VLN Endurance Championship race. Which may sound like an anti-climax, but racecars go on to live long lives the old Vantage GT3 bows out six years after first being unveiled so this is only the beginning for the latest iteration. It was also hamstrung by some time penalties, because the complexities of motorsport mean it"s not fully homologated until 2019.
