For the first time in the 2014 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, the No. 007 TRG-AMR North America Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 will take to a temporary street circuit – and do so with high expectations.

Co-drivers Al Carter and James Davison, the latter fresh off his first run in the Indianapolis 500, are eager to attack the Raceway at Belle Isle Park for this weekend’s Chevrolet Sports Car Classic. The Jetset/B-Positive Foundation No. 007 Aston Martin has previously run this season only on road courses at Daytona International Speedway, Sebring International Raceway and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The 007 car has proved strong in the early going of the TUSCC, working its way into the lead at both Daytona and Sebring and surging into the top 10 at Laguna Seca before a few issues took their toll. This is the first time in 2014 that the GT Daytona class is scheduled to race on a street course, and the TRG-AMR drivers cannot wait for the opportunity.

“We are really excited to get back on track here in Detroit,” Carter said. “We continue to make strides with the V12 Vantage GT3 and look forward to our first street fight in Detroit! The team and I know we have a lot to do on Friday. We will attack it from the first session.”
