Beechdean Motorsport’s Andrew Howard Joins Venture Engineering for the Barcelona 24 Hours in Mercedes-AMG GT4

Beechdean Motorsport is pleased to announce that team principal and driver Andrew Howard will join forces with Venture Engineering for the Barcelona 24 Hours, competing in a Mercedes-AMG GT4.

Howard, fresh from a strong campaign in the Spa 24 Hours, will bring his experience and proven endurance racing pedigree to Venture Engineering as they continue their pursuit of the 24H Series Championship title. The Barcelona round holds special significance for Venture Engineering, marking one year since their debut in the 24H Series.

Team Manager Matt George expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration:

“We are very much looking forward to welcoming Andrew to our driving team for the upcoming Barcelona 24h. A race that has some special memories for us and kick started our 24hour series journey just 12 months ago.

Andrew brings a wealth of speed and experience that will be vital for helping us achieve our goal of winning this year’s championship. Having recently had success in the Spa 24h Andrew will no doubt be a great addition to Return and hopefully replicate our 2024 Victory."

Andrew Howard added:

“I’m really excited to be joining Venture Engineering for the Barcelona 24 Hours. It’s been almost 10 years since I last raced in GT4 machinery, so this is both a challenge and a bit of a homecoming for me. The GT4 category has developed a huge amount in that time, and stepping back into it with such a competitive team is a great opportunity. I’ve watched Venture’s progress over the past year and their commitment and results speak for themselves. Hopefully I can bring my endurance racing experience to the table and help the team fight for both the race win and the championship.”

Howard’s addition to the Venture Engineering line-up signals an exciting new chapter for both teams, bringing together Beechdean’s established endurance racing expertise and Venture Engineering’s rapid growth within the GT racing sphere.

The Barcelona 24 Hours takes place on 27–28 September 2025, with Venture Engineering targeting not only class victory but also consolidating their championship position.
