Five years ago, at the 2009 Silverstone Le Mans Series race, there was so much Aston Martin interest, a good result for the marque was almost guaranteed. What with the LMP1 DBR1-2, the AM engine Lola, a DBR9 and a V8 Vantage GT2, the track was nothing short of variety. The page featuring this epic race has just been updated with many previously unseen images.

The 2005 RAC TT race, Silverstone
- 13/12/2013It was 9 years ago that Aston Martin Racing was formed, a partnership between AML at Gaydon and Prodrive at Banbury. And the first, and arguably most successful car of that partnership was the FIA GT1 class DBR9. You may not know this but in four years of active service within the official works team, the AMR DBR9 only ever competed once on British soil at the 2005 RAC Tourist Trophy race at Silverstone. The page featuring this race has now been transferred from the old website to the new one.

The rarest DB7?
- 06/08/2013After checking through photographs that I took at this years Silverstone Historic Festival, I realised that parked amongst 300 other Astons was the unique one-of-one DB7 V12 Vantage Volante GTS II. The rarest DB7 ever made? Quite possibly.
