The team will field the No.19 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 with four confirmed drivers:

  • Rory van der Steur (son of team founder Gunnar van der Steur)
  • Valentin Hasse-Clot (AMR works driver)
  • Anthony McIntosh (two-time Super Trofeo North America Am Champion)
  • Maxime Robin (AMR Driver Academy member)

McIntosh joins fresh from winning his second consecutive Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Finals class victory, while Robin prepares for his American racing debut at the 24 Hours of Daytona.

The move represents a significant milestone for VDSR, with team driver Rory van der Steur calling it "a dream come true" to compete in his first Rolex 24. Hasse-Clot, continuing his third year with the team, expressed pride in being part of this new chapter in VDSR's history.

The team will compete in the five-race endurance calendar, marking their debut in the GTD class of the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
