He's a gentleman driver - and had a very quick hotshoe (in Jonny Cocker) as his co-driver this year in British GT. But over the course of the season, Drayson made a great improvement in his driving skills, according to the team (Barwell Motorsport).

A move from a GT3 Aston Martin potentially to a GT1 DBR9 is a a big step - for anyone.. Ambitious move, if it happens.

That's going to be a hell of an undertaking. 2 brand new cars, in two series, for a newish team. Best of luck to them, but I don't know how well this will work.

Great to see an Aston back on the grid, too bad not in GT1. We're going to see an epic year in GT2! If only they could get GT1 healthy...

Barwell is not a "newish" team. Although you are correct at it being quite an undertaking.

Wow, I was way off. A little research goes a long way. I think I was confusing Drayson's experience in BTCC with the teams. After thinking about it, I will be interested to see if the team runs the full schedule in either series. That seems like it would be an impossible task and take gobs of money. I wonder if they are leaving the door open for either series by making these statements?
