Aston Martin of Dallas to Offer Exclusive Race Day Experiences

2010-02-26

Aston Martin has a long, storied racing tradition. From winning Le Mans in 1959 with drivers Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori, the company has used its experience in sports car racing to improve their outstanding road cars.



Aston Martin Racing (AMR) and Aston Martin of Dallas have created a Customer Hospitality Program for the 58th Twelve Hours of Sebring (March 20 & 21) and the American Le Mans Series Long Beach Race (April 16 & 17). This is a rare and exciting opportunity to watch Aston Martin CEO David Richards in action with the AMR Team as Adrian Fernandez takes the wheel of a works Aston Martin-powered LMP1 prototype.



Aston Martin was the first major international factory team to enter Sebring in 1953 and has placed and won its class on several occasions throughout the years. Sebring will mark the first time a prototype with an Aston Martin V12 engine has competed in the American Le Mans Series. And Long Beach, America's number one street race, made motorsport history with its inaugural race on the city’s bay side course in 1975.



Aston Martin Racing will make its second appearance in the ALMS 2010 series with the European Le Mans Series Championship-winning LMP1 decorated in iconic Gulf livery.
