Hammerzeit

Hammerzeit After 2 decades racing legendary Gr.A touring cars with the BMW CCA, we have made the leap to GT4.

In 2026, we will campaign our factory Aston Martin Vantage GT4 Prodrive in the IMSA/HSR historic series and with SVRA.

Picked up a small bag of bolts for the GT4 car … and couldn’t help ogling the merchandise. The new Vantage S is amazing in person. Very cool to see them in vibrant colors rather than the typical blacks and silvers.

First track outing of the season. BMW CCA test day at NJMP Thunderbolt.

Ran the new “Devil’s Pass” configuration … which gets a solid “meh” rating.

Oil change is a bit of a faff with a dry sump system: Drop the under tray. Drain the accumulator/reservoir. Drain the block at 3 different points (plus filter housing, obviously). Add 11-12 liters of fancy oil. Besides the filter, you need to replace all the drain plugs since the squished o-rings are captive.

It was reassuring to see no metal stuck to the drain plug magnet. I should have sampled the old oil for analysis, but I didn’t get my act together. Hopefully Nafi’s continued positive influence will eventually rub off on me!

Tire day. Out with the old; in with the new.

Fall Classic at LCMT. Unfortunately our race weekend was cut short with a badly cracked rear rotor on the first practice session. But it’s impossible to be grumpy when spending a weekend with cherished friends at such a gorgeous venue.
