The popular Aston Martin GT4 Challenge of Great Britain enters its third season this year, with the new Aston Martin Vantage GT4 on the grid. The first round of the 2012 series was held at the historic Silverstone track, and the car driven by Pierre Mantello & Olivier Bouche managed to stay ahead of a lineup of 75 cars to win the season-opener. The duo showed a great performance despite the challenging race conditions on a wet track.

Here’s a short video highlighting the most important bits of the race.
