The Aston Martin GT4 won multiple races held in Dubai, Nurburgring and Spa 24 Hours, but also numerous class wins in the Nurburgring VLN endurance series and four wins out of six in the FIA GT4 European Cup. Speaking ahead of the race, Marek said: "The design team has been closely involved in the design of all our race cars, from the works LMP1 prototype to the Vantage GT4, but I've always longed to get even more closely involved and the Aston Martin GT4 Challenge provides the perfect introduction to GT4 racing for me."
Marek's co-driver, Chris Porritt, added: "Most of my GT4 experience with Aston Martin has been at the Nurburgring, but Oulton Park is my home track and while I've raced my own cars there many times, I've never had the opportunity in an Aston Martin. The standard of racing in the series so far has been extremely high so Marek and I will have our work cut out to keep up with the front runners."
