Racers Edge Motorsports will make the switch from Acura to Aston Martin GT3 machinery in Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS next year, announcing a new “long-term strategic partnership” with the British brand.

The move comes amid the end of support for the championship-winning Acura NSX GT3 platform.

The Jon Mirachi-led team will once again focus on SRO America competition in 2025, fielding an Aston Martin in Fanatec GT America, while its partnership with the manufacturer “opens doors” to potential GT4 programs according to a team statement.

“Aston Martin Racing checked all the boxes for us, both in a new partner and with the right car to put on track that would immediately be competitive,” said Mirachi.

“We investigated our various options and spoke with multiple manufacturers, and Aston Martin Racing quickly rose to the top of our list. Once we looked at all the options, the decision was actually easy to make.”

Racers Edge’s switch to Aston means there will not be a NSX GT3 Evo22 on the grid in professional North American sports car racing next year, with fellow Acura entrant Gradient Racing having announced a Ford Mustang GT3 program in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

“With the end of the Acura NSX GT3 program support, and no GT3 successor in development, we felt the time was right for a new challenge,” said Mirachi.

“We had six successful years with Honda Racing Corporation and Acura Motorsports, collecting 24 race wins, 53 total podium finishes, and three championships—more than any other NSX GT3 team in the world.

“We are really proud of those accomplishments, but along with that success we developed some great friendships that we’ll miss, so the change is bittersweet.

“At the same time, we’re excited about the future and creating that same success with the folks at Aston Martin Racing.”
