Aston Martin Racing Prepares for an Epic Month of Endurance Racing

Motorsport has been at the heart of Aston Martin since its birth, but never more so than today. As if to prove the point, next month Aston Martin Racing embarks upon the most intense fortnight of the year, and John Eagle’s Aston Martin of Austin looks forward to cheering them on. Competing in the world-famous Le Mans 24 hours on June 14/15 with the V8 Vantage GTE, AMR then immediately heads for Germany's fearsome Nürburgring to contest another epic twice-round-the-clock race - the grueling 'N24' - in the V12 Vantage GT3.

Aston Martin Racing's iconic pale blue and orange V8 Vantage GTEs will once again return to Le Mans on June 14/15 for the most important weekend in the endurance racing calendar. With a team of four cars and an impressive driver line-up, including Britain's Darren Turner and ex-F1 driver Bruno Senna, hopes are high for class victory and a place in the history books.

As if one grueling endurance race isn't enough, Aston Martin Racing will head straight from Le Mans to Germany and the fearsome Nürburgring for the extraordinary 'N24' race (June 21/22). AMR will be aiming for outright victory with its formidable V12 Vantage GT3, while Aston Martin's Gaydon engineering team will contest both the SP8 & SP10 class in a pair of close-to-production V8 Vantage N430 Coupes.

Aston Martin is immensely proud that these proven race-winners are based on series production road models, like those found at Aston Martin of Austin. They are prouder still that they’ll be fighting for victory in the two biggest endurance races of the year.
