Preparations for the Le Mans are in full flow, so to keep building the excitement for tomorrow's race we've brought you this lovely shot of the mad-looking LMP1 Lola Aston Martin.
We had a snap of this car as Pic of the Week a few weeks ago, but this time it's sitting proud alongside its forbear, a beautiful 1959 DBR1. It's tough to compete with that on looks, but what the new car lacks of the old car's romance it perhaps makes up for in sheer barminess!
Aston Martin Racing (AMR) will be hoping that the LMP1 mirrors the 1959 car's victory at the 24 hours. We can't wait to watch them try!
