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.

Aston Martin Muscle Milk and BMW win on the streets of Long Beach

 After 12 hours of Sebring, the american Le mans Series set course to the warm California. The stop was in the streets of long beach who have lived this weekend a real marathon competition with the presence of simultaneous of ALMS and IndyCar Series.
In LMP1, the race was a hand in hand between the Aston Martin of the Muscle Milk team and the Dyson Racing Lola B09/86-Mazda. And it was not because they were the fastest but because they were only prototypes enrolled in the higher category. The ALMS do not pass on his best time. In LMP2, a registered and thanks to the participation of five Formula Le Mans, the presence of the prototypes was more than testimonial.
In the battle to two, Lucas Luhr and Klaus Graf defeated Chris Dyson and Guy Smith despite the attempts of the latter. After two hours of career, the Aston Martin of Muscle Milk won by just 25 seconds over the Dyson Racing Lola-Mazda.

Aston Martin presents a completely new prototype to Le Mans

aston martin has presented today a new prototype ready to compete in the 24 hours of Le Mans, and what he has called AMR-One. It is made from scratch, as they say on their official website, and among other things almost what I like most is the decoration of Gulf. But I am very "pro Aston Martin".
New rules for Le Mans, new designs, as this prototype which have opted to leave it without closing (open cockpit), incorporate the shark fin and provide it with an efficient but much less thick engine. The propeller will now be 2 liter turbocharged, with six marches semiutomatico gearbox. And rear-wheel drive, but it is is almost truism.
Six wonders of these will be built, nothing more, for the international competition, one of them will compete in the ILMC, which includes 24 hours of Le Mans, and other two units will be derechitas at above special events. It is has also unveiled the pilot template: Darren Turner, Stefan Mucke and another pilot not announced yet will take the car number 007 (James…?), while Adrian Fernandez, Andy Meyrick and Harold Primat (CH) will do the team on the back of the 009.
