Manchester-based HMG Paints’ range of coatings will once again be taking to the track on race circuits across the world. This year it will be on the Aston Martin Vantage GT3. As technical partners with Prodrive, one of the world’s largest motorsport and technology businesses, HMG will provide its paints for a number of cars throughout the upcoming season.
The Vantage GT3 is an evolution of the recently retired Vantage GTE and GT3 cars, which made their debuts in 2018. Sharing their mechanical architecture — and that of the Vantage road car — the Vantage GT3 is built around Aston Martin’s bonded aluminum chassis structure and powered by its twin-turbo 4-liter V8 engine. The car features a redesigned aerodynamic package, revised suspension and updated electronics.
Built to comply with all International Federation of Automobiles (FIA) GT3 class regulations, the car will be competing at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hours and the 24 Hours of Le Mans later this year. It will also see action in the Japanese Super GT Championship and the British GT Championship.
