The No.19 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 will be piloted by a four-driver team:

  • Rory van der Steur
  • Valentin Hasse-Clot (AMR works driver)
  • Anthony McIntosh (two-time Super Trofeo North America Am Champion)
  • Maxime Robin (AMR Driver Academy member)

McIntosh joins fresh from winning his second consecutive Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Finals class victory, while Robin prepares for his American racing debut at the Daytona 24 Hours.

For Rory van der Steur, son of team founder and former American Le Mans Series driver Gunnar van der Steur, this represents a significant milestone: "This race is a dream come true. I've been watching it since I was a kid, and now I get to race in my first Rolex 24."

Hasse-Clot, who has collaborated with VDSR for two years, expressed confidence in the team's new chapter: "Let's continue the great work we started in November and make it count!"

The team will compete in the five-race endurance calendar, starting with the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona.
