Volante Rosso has confirmed its entry for the 2025 Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour later this month. 

 

The Sydney-based GT squad will compete in the once-around-the-clock endurance race in its Aston Martin Vantage GT3 – the same car that the team raced in the GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS last year. A trio of drivers for the Aston entry will be confirmed in due course.

 

“We are really looking forward to getting back to Bathurst for the 12 Hour,” said Volante Rosso's Josh Hunt. “The race is one of the highlights of the Australian and international motorsport calendar and for our team, we feel proud and privileged to be involved. “We only raced a handful of events with the Aston Martin last year, and we feel we have got a good handle on its character and performance.

 

“The final make-up of the driver line-up and the look of the car is coming together, and we can’t wait to reveal the details of our Bathurst attack.” The entry of the Vantage GT3 marks the first time that the famous UK brand has been represented in the 12 Hour since the 2020. Volante Rosso is no stranger to the Bathurst 12 Hour event, having scored a class podium result in the 2023 edition of the race.

 

The Volante Rosso team, headed by Chris Papadopoulos and Josh Hunt, secured the Vantage GT3 midway through 2024 and enjoy an official factory partnership with Aston Martin Racing. The Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour will be held from January 30 to February 2.
