Aston Martin reveals expanded factory driver roster for 2024

Aston Martin has revealed an expanded line-up of factory drivers as part of its increased commitment to international sportscar racing in the Hypercar, GT3 and GT4 categories. 

Nurburgring 24 Hours winner David Pittard, GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup champion Mattia Drudi and Henrique Chaves, a class winner at the Le Mans 24 Hours, have been added to the Aston Martin Racing roster for 2024. 

They join stalwart AMR drivers Marco Sorensen and Nicki Thiim, who have been re-signed on new long-term contracts, while Jonny Adam, Ross Gunn and Valentin Hasse Clot have also been retained.  

Darren Turner, a three-time Le Mans class winner with Aston, will remain with the marque for a 20th season on a wider deal that includes development duties with Aston Martin Lagonda. 

Charlie Eastwood has left Aston to become a Corvette Racing driver with Chevrolet. 

Aston has yet to confirm full programmes for any of its drivers, but Sorensen will race the new evolution version of the Vantage GT3 in the World Endurance Championship’s new LMGT3 class with the AMR-run D’station Racing squad. 

The Dane will have additional programmes that have yet to be announced.

Gunn will remain part of Heart of Racing’s GT Daytona Pro assault on the IMSA SportsCar Championship in North America.
