Aston Martin Announces 2011 AMR-One Racer for LeMans Series

Aston Martin AMR-One Racer
One of our regular favorites, Aston Martin will once again contest top tier racing with a new LeMans endurance machine in the LMP1 class.

Only six AMR-Ones will be produced. The first will be run by the factory team in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (ILMC.) Two others will run in other venues that have not yet been announced. Aston Martin says that the AMR-One race car shares design philosophy with the One-77 road car including carbon fibre monocoque.

In 2010, Aston Martin Racing was on the winners' podium a lot. Aston placed in both of the American LeMans races it contested, 3rd at Sebring and 2nd in Long Beach.

In FIA-GT the DB9 came in 1st at the Nürburgring and 2nd at Silverstone, Brno and Navarra.

At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Aston DBR9 was 3rd in the LMGT1 Class.
