Aston Martin works driver Ross Gunn will return to the British GT Championship with Beechdean AMR this year alongside his former co-driver and mentor, Andrew Howard, with Beechdean reprising their classic blue and white livery to mark their return.
Gunn spent last season campaigning the Aston Martin Valkyrie Hypercar in IMSA and FIA WEC but also joined Howard in Beechdean’s Vantage GT3 at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. The pair reunite in British GT after last competing together in 2023, when the pair competed in several races en route to finishing eighth in the standings.
Gunn’s experience in the series goes back to when he was just 16 years old, when he was offered the chance to contest British GT4 alongside Jamie Chadwick. They went on to win the 2015 championship, becoming the youngest pairing to do so in the process.
“I’m so excited to be back in the British GT Championship for 2026 and to have the opportunity, as part of the Aston Martin Racing family, to race again with Beechdean AMR and with Andrew,” said Gunn. “From watching my dad race Beechdean Minis when I was little, to the support Andrew’s given me through my career, there’s always been a strong link between myself and the team and it’s brilliant to be back.
“Andrew’s coming into the season as the reigning Silver-Am champion and finished 2025 on such strong form, so my target is to pick up where we left off and be fighting to finish at the sharp end.”
Howard added the Silver-Am crown to his collection alongside Tom Wood last season but is now re-joining the Pro-Am ranks thanks to Gunn’s Platinum status.
“It was brilliant to get back to championship-winning ways in 2025 and to finish on the podium at the 24 Hours of Spa,” he said. “For 2026 we’re aiming even higher as we return to the Pro-Am class with a livery that might remind a few people of some fantastic past times, and target the overall podium from the get-go.
“Having Ross back is brilliant. He’s been a regular in the garage since he was a child and it’s been awesome to watch his career go from strength to strength since he first raced with Beechdean AMR in 2015. I’m looking forward to the coming season more than I have done for a long time.”
