aston martin amr-one it was going to be the model that would try to return to the struggle for the victory to models of petrol in the 24 hours of Le Mans. A model developed entirely by the British manufacturer aiming to dethrone Peugeot and Audi.
Here the good news. First was his absence at the 12 hours of Sebring, then his bad result in the 1,000 kilometres of Le Castellet and to conclude, the problems suffered on the day of test of Le Mans on Sunday. In the test of the layout of the Sarthe, the two present models completed only 12 laps (10-2) and with a better time to 20 seconds for the fastest lap by Audi R18. A world.
Thus, in Aston Martin have decided to not be present in the 1000 km of Spa-Francorchamps, for both the Le Mans Series and the International Le Mans Cup, and focus on the development of the AMR-One with a view to the appointment of the 24 hours of Le Mans in June.
The guys from David Richards will review both engine and aerodynamics trying to find the rhythm which showed that they were in the two previous appointments. Also made the much-needed much-needed long-term test in a 24-hour race.
