I'd like AMR have a go for the overall win with the new GT3-spec V12 Vantage.

Your not the only one . Would be nice to see someone run the DBSR9 again, wasnt it Phoenix who raced one in the 24hr a couple of years back with possibly Thomas Enge as one of the drivers? My memory is hazy..

Ok , since they pulled outta Spa ..... what testing has AMR done , and where ?

I havent heard a peep , and normally something is being said on one forum or another .

I would have thought they would have been busy out testing the thing ? Or they having parts issues too ?

So you´re positive they will actually be able to run at LMP2 speed?

Personally, I have zero confidence for their effort, in fact one of the Astons would be my pick for the first retirement.

I think you're on to something! Maybe the ACO is making them carry their own Speedi-Dri to clean up all the oil they will deposit on the track when their engines grenade!

Learn what? To grenade your engines even at a hugely conservative hp rating, have a program in shambles, give the green light 6 months too early and test in public? Would throw everyone off but marketing would be set to explode....like the engines....

Do you prefer an Aston Martin that will last only 1 or 2 hours in the race, but is there,or a HPD missing??

This is a 3 year deal, let´s wait and see dear friends, now everybody expects a poor performance, however, can all be surprised.

let's be realistic, so far absolutely nothing has proven us that they will be competitive at Le mans, slow and no reliability, that looks promising for sure.

I prefer a fast and reliable car good looking car which they had the last years, this years car has nothing of this.

And yes I would have loved to see that HPD car out at Le Mans too, it would have been miles out of Aston Martin's league!
