The No. 007 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo in GTD PRO will feature Ross Gunn, Roman De Angelis, Alex Riberas, and Marco Sorensen. This driver lineup brings significant experience, with Sorensen being part of the 2023 Rolex 24-winning team.
For the No. 27 GTD entry, the team welcomes Zacharie Robichon, Tom Gamble, Mattia Drudi, and Casper Stevenson. Notably, this marks the first time team principal Ian James won't be driving in the Rolex 24 since the team's inception in 2020.
"We have two really strong line-ups this year for Daytona," said James. "Though it is a little bittersweet for me, I think these young guys will do a great job and hopefully we can come out after 24 hours with a podium finish."
The teams will begin testing during the Roar Before the 24 weekend on January 17-19, with the Rolex 24 following on January 23-26.
