Aston Martin stalwart Paul Dalla Lana has announced his decision to retire from racing with immediate effect. Heart of Racing will take over his Northwest AMR entry in WEC from this weekend's Spa round.
Dalla Lana, 57, had contested the opening two rounds of the WEC alongside Aston factory driver Nicki Thiim and Zimbabwean Axcil Jeffries but steps away citing a desire to focus on business interests.
“To race for Aston Martin, compete at Le Mans and win a world championship title, has been one of the greatest adventures of my life and has given me so many memories that I will cherish for the rest of my days,” said the Canadian. “I’ve been lucky enough to race alongside some great drivers and great friends and compete against the very best in sportscar racing.
HoR will continue to compete under the NorthWest AMR banner and use the #98 for the remainder of the season.
