  • 2006 - Spa 24 hour festival at Spa-Francorchamps, qualified 30th and finished 18 out of 75 cars, gaining a class win in the British Sports and Saloon endurance race.

  • In October 2006 - Penultimate round of the Mini championship, the hired car had technical problems with its ECU system which meant Ant failed to complete more than two laps of qualifying. This to no surprise left him with an uphill struggle for both races, but still managed to get two top 15 finishes from the back of the grid.

  • 2007 - Ant competed in the Renault Clio Cup, nearly always in the top half of the grid, a championship which is part of the popular and exciting British Touring Car Championship calendar.

  • 2008 - Ant contested the UK Mini Challenge. Finishing 5th overall. A front runner in this series regularly finishing on the podium and achieving front row starts, most notably at Croft and Brands Hatch.

 

  • 2009 - Saw Ant contest his second campaign in the Clio Cup. He had high hopes but ultimately didnt have the package needed to run at the front. Needless to say more lessons were learnt and experience gained.

 

  • 2010 - A change for Ant. After accepting an offer to drive a GT4 Aston Martin in the inaugural Challenge of Great Britain. Ant dominated this series from the outset, claiming 6/6 wins and 5/6 pole positions. This then lead to interest from Aston Martin Racing and the formation of a new team- The official Aston Martin junior team- Generation AMR. Ant had paired up with his rival from 2010, James Appleby.

 

  •  2011 - Ant to contest FIA GT4 European Cup with James and Generation AMR.
