Aston Martin Motor Racing, usually known simply as Aston Martin, is the official racing team for car manufacturer Aston Martin. They are based in Bristol, England. They are participating in the 2015 F2RWRS season.

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; he was replaced by Tommy Nash. Nash was slightly more competitive, he blew a fourth place by running off the track in his first race - resulting in Nash's former teammate Carter Simpson to initiate a brawl between HRT, who had just been sent to Pre-Qualifying as a result of Nash's off.

Meanwhile, Kazama had been racking up points due to pure consistency as the other championship contenders were either retiring due to technical problems or crashing out and racking up race bans from the stewards. In the race at Japan, Kazama was given a one-race ban afterwards for improper driving. After a lengthy appeal session, the ban was reduced to a suspended one-race ban. Kazama ended up crashing into someone and was excluded from Indianapolis. Meanwhile, Ryan Zimmer slammed Nash into the wall near the end of the race and broke his leg, calling for another replacement, which wound up being Jordan Davies, who had already signed for the team for the 2016 season. It wound up being Marko Jantscher, who placed fifth in the 2015 F3RWRS championship, and who was considered to be in the seat for 2016.
