All of the drivers who have purchased new GT4s or are participating in the arrive-and-drive program are eagerly looking forward to the first round of 2014.
Joel Segal recently spent the weekend at the Thermal Club with TRG-AMR testing and evaluating the Vantage GT4. After a successful weekend getting up to speed in the Aston Martin, Segal walked away impressed with TRG-AMR, the GT Challenge series concept, and the Vantage. In fact, Joel was so impressed that he purchased a Vantage GT4 and entered the full seven weekend series. The Montreal Aston Martin dealer sees the opportunity to race the Vantage GT4 and also utilize it for events in the Montreal area throughout 2014. Most notably, Segal looks forward to July 25 – July 27 at the famous Mt. Tremblant circuit as a weekend where he will be the “home team” driver!
Santiago, Chile native Eliseo Salazar is a name familiar to North American race fans for two decades. Eliseo has driven everything from Indycars, to off-road trucks, to prototype sports cars in that time. When the announcement was made about the GT4 Challenge series, Salazar was contacted by Chilean based AGUNSA (a leading Logistics and Distribution company based in Valparaiso, Chile with office around the world) and Aston Martin Santiago. The two companies thought this series was a great fit for them to entertain guests at events that combine on-track motorsports and off-track lifestyle events for a fun weekend. Salazar and his sponsors have confirmed entry in three races with the potential to extend this to more races in the series in 2014. For Eliseo, this is a great way to reconnect with TRG after having driven for the team in 2011 and 2012. Now that the operation is TRG-AMR, Salazar and his sponsors feel strongly about the opportunity to combine the TRG racing brand with Aston Martin for this GT4 Challenge series.
