Aston Martin, hearing the name alone means quality, comfort and guaranteed power! The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is a car worthy of a second look. But when you tune it for Gr.3 Class Racing, and you’ll keep wanting more!
Also, this car is very similar to the Jaguar F-type Gr.3. It would be pretty interesting to see which one is the faster car.
Car: Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 ‘12
Track: Alsace Village
Time: 1:43.191
Discipline: 133/88
Tires: Racing Soft
Tuner: Paul Smith
After extensive testing, even without Traction Control, this car handles very well! Alsace is a track known for its elevation changes and high banking elongated corners, stability and agility are the two main factors for tuning on the track, its a smooth flowing high speed track that requires plenty of Aero to keep the car planted to the ground!
Keep in mind that there aren’t a lot of long straights on this track, the gears need to be focused on acceleration, not so much for top speed, this is an Aston after all, you can bet it will have speed, just make sure it gets you there fast!
