About this paint

Townsend Racing powered by Fox Motorsport has confirmed that Joe Wheeler will partner James Townsend this year.

The team also revealed its livery for the upcoming campaign after previously announcing its Aston Martin GT4 entry back in late January.

Townsend Racing powered by Fox Motorsport will field the Vantage in the GT4 Pro-Am division, pairing the race-winning organisation, which is now competing as an Aston Martin Racing (AMR) partner team, with James Townsend in the series.

The exciting news brings race-winners Fox Motorsport back to British GT competition for the first time since scoring a GT3 Silver-Am pole position at a one-off appearance at the 2023 ‘Donington Decider’ with a Lamborghini.

The team from Maldon, Essex, which has won multiple championships in single-make Ginetta GT competition, debuted in British GT at Silverstone in 2013 with Team Principal Paul McNeilly and Jamie Stanley winning the GT3B class.

An outright race win at Spa in 2022 for Jamie and Nick Halstead in a GT3 McLaren has added to wins and podiums in GT4 overall and Pro-Am competition with Ginetta, Mercedes-AMG and McLaren machinery.

James is one of Fox Motorsport’s most successful drivers, having been a class winner in the Ginetta GT5 Challenge, Ginetta GT4 Supercup and GT Cup and a podium-finisher in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB.

Between 2018 and 2022 he scored 11 race wins and 42 podiums with Fox and now returns to the team – and the driving seat – for the upcoming British GT season.

He previously contested the series in 2023, three times finishing on the GT4 Pro-Am podium, and made a one-off return at last year’s Donington Park finale.

The Aston Martin Vantage GT4 is the first machine from the legendary ultra-luxury British manufacturer that has been campaigned by either Townsend Racing or Fox Motorsport.

The outfit’s transition into an AMR partner team underlines Fox Motorsport’s position as one of the UK’s premier GT4 teams and creates another step on its racing ladder that is also set to feature the GB4 Championship for entry-level single-seaters in 2026.

Wheeler enters his fourth season in the championship after previously racing Ginettas and Lotuses for Assetto Motorsport, Toro Verde and Mahiki Racing. It was with the latter, at Donington last year, that the 22-year-old first partnered Townsend who is now embarking on his second full-season of British GT.

Retired from a career in IT, and now have time on my hands to try stuff like painting race cars. I have done a number of commissions for others, so if you want a paint made either from scratch or a favourite real life car, message me via this platform. I reproduce car liveries from real life cars for the entertainment of the many many fans of those teams and drivers, and am happy to take a look at any suggestions for liveries for anyone looking to emulate their hero.
