Aston to return to Le Mans
DB9 deal with Prodrive to break cover
Aston Martin and Prodrive have sealed a deal to build a DB9 Le Mans car, according to this week's Motorsport News.
Aston is said to be on the verge of announcing the new project which should see Cosworth V12-powered, Prodrive-built, DB9s on the grid for the 2005 Le Mans 24 Hours.
The car would run in the GTS class - which was won this year at La Sarthe by a Prodrive-built Ferrari 550 Maranello. Opposition by 2005 is likely to include Ferrari, Maserati and Chevrolet.
The first of the 6-litre V12-powered DB9 road cars are due to be delivered to their new owners in the first half of 2004.
Aston Martin last raced in the Le Mans 24 Hours with its AMR 1 Group C car in 1989.

St170j,
The deal that Shadytree mentioned so many months ago was a rumour not a deal, and at the time you rudely discounted it. Now I have just been looking at the old threads and suprise suprise many of your posts are either missing or edited. But anyone can see by the fact than many others have posted quotes from your posts that you are indeed the obnoxious idiot you come across as. To me Shadytree was right, it seems that Aston were indeed looking to return to LM, and oh quel supris they have just announced the likelyhood.
Have a great afternoon.

Let that be the end of it. Can we get back to talking about more improtant things: like Cars???
So, since I've waited since 1989 for a Factory racing effort (Protech), when can we expect to see Works Aston racing clothing?
I've always wanted to go to Le Mans draped with a huge Green flag with Aston Martin on it...
