The Queensland-based outfit, an Aston Martin Racing factory-affiliated program, will run a single Vantage V12 GT3 with George Miedecke, Ash Walsh and Tony Bates behind the wheel.
The car is the same one that finished third in the 2015 Bathurst 12 Hour in the hands of Craft Bamboo Racing, and has since been completely rebuilt and upgraded to the latest available specifications.
The three drivers make for an extremely experienced Bathurst combination, all with plenty of experience both in long-distance racing and at Mount Panorama.
“We are heading to Bathurst with a lot of confidence and we’re really pleased with the team we have been able to assemble,” George Miedecke said.
“We have had a year to come to grips with the Aston Martin, racing the cars in Australian GT. It’s a great car and one we already know that is a competitive package at Mount Panorama, too.
“There has been a lot of focus going into this program and making sure that we’re ready to go the moment we get to Bathurst this February.
“It’s an exciting time for the Miedecke Stone Motorsport team to be representing Aston Martin in such a competitive field.
“I’m probably biased but the car looks great.
“The obvious target is an ‘Am’ Class victory, though with the depth in the field it is clear that won’t be an easy thing to achieve, it’s going to be a hugely competitive race.”
