The two snow-white cars, which were delivered by Aston Martin Racing (AMR) from Banbury (UK) last weekend, were put through a comprehensive test programme on Tuesday on the Nürburgring sprint track.

"It was a good first day of testing with the new Vantage GT3," said Aston Martin works driver Maxime Martin after putting the car through its paces. Martin will partner PROpeak Performance team-mate Daniel Keilwitz in the 2019 ADAC GT Masters.

Record ADAC GT Masters race winner Keilwitz and Hugo de Sadeleer also completed their first laps at the wheel of the Vantage GT3. De Sadeleer's co-driver in the second PROpeak Vantage GT3 will be Valentin Hasse-Clot.

Team principal Christoph Esser expressed himself well pleased with the session: "Every lap, every megabit of data and every experience counts. In that respect, we can be satisfied with the first day. We are at the beginning of a steep learning curve."

On Wednesday, as the team continued its tests in the Eifel, it was Hasse-Clot's turn to take the car out on the track.
