NICHOLAS MEE RACING
Nicholas Mee Racing. Winners, 2011 and 2009 Aston Martin Challenge
Following the formation of Nicholas Mee Racing in late 2008, the team campaigned its new 4.7-litre V8 Vantage GT4 in the manufacturer-backed 2009 Aston Martin Challenge – a series held within the popular Britcar GT Championship. With three consecutive class wins, plus 2nd and 3rd placings, NMR secured the inaugural 2009 AM Challenge Trophy with the final round in hand.
Further success has followed with a podium finish in the 2010 Dubai 24-hour race against a grid of over 70 cars including nine Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4s and N24s. NMR's number one car finished 3rd in class, 18th overall and was the 2nd Aston Martin home, while the team's number two car also completed the 24 hours, underlining the Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4's durability.
Following victory in the inaugural Aston Martin GT4 Challenge of 2009 and intermittent participation in the series in 2010, including a 3rd place finish at the Season finale, Nicholas Mee Racing is to contest the full championship again in 2011.
NMR also plans to compete again in the Britcar 24hr race at Silverstone which is scheduled to take place 1-2 October 2011.
Nicholas Mee Racing began the 2011 season in the Aston Martin GT4 Challenge with a hard fought fourth place finish and is looking forward to round two of the Challenge at Snetterton on May 28th. The team is also able to offer its preparation services for customers wishing to race either V8 Vantage GT4 or N24 cars in endurance races, including the Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4 Challenge, the British GT Championship or the Britcar Championship.
