Aston Martin to race Le Mans in Gulf Oil livery

Aston Martin announced recently its 2010 racing plans include two Aston Martin Works LMP1 race cars which will run in the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours.

Both Aston Martin Works LMP1 will race in the Gulf Oil iconic blue and orange livery and will be driven by Chris Buncombe, Stefan Mucke, Harold Primat and Darren Turner and Adrian Fernandez.

On 11 April the Aston Martin Works LMP1 race cars will compete in the opening round of the European Le Mans Series at Paul Ricard in France.

“Having won the Le Mans Series Team and Driver titles in 2009 it will be a hard act to follow,” said Aston Martin Racing Team Principal, George Howard-Chappell. “However, we are looking forward to a great season of racing and we hope to have another strong showing at Le Mans.”
