Aston Martin at Le Mans and Sebring

Aston Martin returned in 2010 with its closed prototype in its blue and orange livery in the colors of Gulf Oil, with the aim of lining up at the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. If Aston Martin Racing benefits from an invitation due to its victory in the Le Mans Series, the British brand intends to field two cars, while a third has been entrusted to the Signature team. In order to prepare for the legendary Le Mans race, Aston Martin will participate in the 12 Hours of Sebring (ALMS), the Long Beach Grand Prix (ALMS) but also in the opening of the Le Mans Series season during the 8 Hours of Le Castellet. .

To drive the LMP1s, Aston Martin renews its confidence in Chris Buncombe, Stefan Mücke, Harold Primat and Darren Turner, but also calls on Adrian Fernandez. A newcomer, the Mexican changes category since he was crowned in LMP2 during the last American Le Mans Series season. “ After winning the Le Mans Series teams and drivers championship in 2009, it will be difficult to do better, attests George Howard-Chappell, team principal of Aston Martin Racing. However, we are expecting a great season and we hope for another good result at Le Mans. I welcome Adrian to the team. I am sure that with his experience, he will be an important contribution to our crews. »
