Fuel the Passion (FTP) - Weekly Roundup
A week that captured Aston Martin at multiple levels. From Vantage GT3 success at Daytona and the first on-track steps of the AMR26 in Barcelona, to a one-off Vanquish commission and the evolving reality of modern ownership, this week’s roundup reflects a brand in motion. We also look ahead to a packed AMOC events calendar for 2026 and share a personal update from the Fuel the Passion garage as the FTP Vantage prepares for the season ahead.
Fuel the Passion (FTP) – Weekly Roundup
From the formal start of Aston Martin’s works partnership with Honda in Formula 1, to Valkyrie’s return to the top class at Daytona, this week has been about direction rather than drama. We look at the end of the FIA Safety Car era, fresh perspective on the DB12 S, the newly announced Aston Martin Experiences programme for 2026, and what all of this tells us about where the brand is heading. As ever, it’s about context, accuracy and the bigger picture.
