F2RWRS
2014
The team started out the F2RWRS with some good fortunes, with Kremnicky qualifying third for the race. However, Kremnicky was involved in an accident that broke his right arm and both legs. As a result Marchesi's fourth place (from 15th on the grid, mainly helped by attrition) was rather sour. Kremnicky was out for a long time. His replacement wass Micko Glotch from the Netherlands. Since then both Marchesi and Glotch have impressed, with Marchesi placing fourth twice and Glotch scoring five points in two races.
Kremnicky eventually returned in the Czech Republic race, earlier than expected. In the second race that he participated in, Kremnicky won the Italian, Portuguese and Spanish F2RWRS GP. The team managed to finish third in the constructors' championship, but lost out on the runner-up position by one point to Falik Arrows.
2015
In 2015 Aston Martin lost both drivers to other teams, Marchesi to MRT and Kremnicky to Scuderia Alitalia. The team quickly signed test driver (and replacement for Kremnicky during his injury) Micko Glotch to a full season contract. The team signed F3RWRS Champion Tomo Kazama to a lucrative one-year deal to fill the second seat.
The team had a moderate start to the season, with Kazama scoring a fifth and a seventh in the first two races. Then Kazama placed 2nd and gained the teams' third fastest lap in Turkey, placed third in Monaco, and won in France while taking the team's first pole position. After that race, Glotch was fired from the team for poor performances, as he had not scored a point. His replacement has yet to be announced.
