ALEX LYNN – 6 HOURS OF SILVERSTONE REVIEW
Aston Martin Racing made a great step forward for the 6 Hours of Silverstone, and it was really satisfying to finish fourth with Maxime Martin in the latest round of the FIA World Endurance Championship. This was only the third race for the new Aston Martin Vantage GTE, and overall, in every department, I think the whole car has taken a massive step forward. And as a team we loved the whole weekend, being at home, and being at the sharp end of the field in the GTE Pro class.
