Aston Martin has confirmed that Paul Dalla Lana will not be taking part in the Rolex 24 at Daytona due to a minor skiing injury.
The Canadian was supposed to race an Aston Martin Vantage GT3 alongside Mathias Lauda, Pedro Lamy and Ross Gunn.
Aston Martin has released a statement saying that he ‘will not participate in the 2020 Rolex 24 at Daytona, January 25-26, or this weekend’s ROAR before the 24 test, after picking up a minor injury while skiing.’
The statement goes on to say that Dalla Lana ‘will return to action for the Lone Star Le Mans round of this year’s FIA WEC at COTA on February 22-23.’
It is not yet clear if Dalla Lana’s absence means that the #98 Vantage GT3 will not take part in the Florida endurance classic or that the British marque will attempt to source a replacement driver.
“An announcement will be made regarding Aston Martin Racing’s participation in the event in due course,” the statement concluded.
