I'm sure you all know that we are big fans of Aston Martin here at PistonHeads, so we couldn't resist celebrating their second consecutive Le Mans 24 hour GT1 win by featuring the winning car on Picture of the week.
Their 009 car took the lead within the first three hours of the race, but then had to fight tooth and nail to stay ahead of its Corvette rival, with the gap dropping to as little as four seconds halfway through the race. Even by the finish, having covered more than 4,500 kilometres, the two cars were still less than five minutes apart.
