History

Aston Martin Racing revealed the Vantage GT2 in January 2008, based on the V8 Vantage road car. In February 2008 James Watt Automotive bought a car for the Le Mans Series, taking chassis number 3, and used an Aston Martin development car for the first two rounds while waiting for delivery.

JMW Motorsport announced in late 2009 that it would race the Vantage GT2 in the 2010 Le Mans Series and Le Mans 24 Hours, becoming an official Aston Martin Racing GT2 development partner.

A pair of cars ordered by Drayson Racing for the 2008 to 2009 programmes is described as one of only nine built. Both were restored and offered for sale in 2023.
