The sister #97 entry will feature the British pairing of Darren Turner and Jonny Adam. With both drivers taking European and British title honours in 2016 at the wheel of Aston Martin machinery, they'll be looking to secure success on the world stage this season. Adam said, 'Partnering with Darren is something I'm very much looking forward to. We've raced together on and off for the past couple of years, so it's incredibly exciting to be announcing that I'll be joining someone with that experience and speed on a full time basis. He's a great ambassador on and off the track for Aston Martin and we work well together. We both drive in a similar style and get the best out of each other and the car and I think that will shape up to be a great partnership this year. 'Bahrain last year was promising after qualifying on pole and leading big parts of the race and I see no reason why we can't carry that through to this season. To have Marco and Nicki who are at the top of their game in the sister car is fantastic too.' With a third driver required in each car for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the team will make an announcement on both its additional GTE Pro drivers in the coming weeks. In GTE Am, the familiar trio of Paul Dalla Lana (C), Pedro Lamy (P) and Mathias Lauda (A) will return to contest the full FIA World Endurance Championship. After winning five of the series' nine rounds last season, the crew will be looking to convert their strong form into GTE Am title victory. Aston Martin Racing will return to competition at the FIA World Endurance Championship's opening round at Silverstone on Sunday 16 April.
