Aston Martin Racing have confirmed that they will enter two Works LMP1 cars bearing the iconic blue and orange livery of Gulf Oil in the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours.
The British team exceeded all expectations at Le Mans in 2009 by finishing fourth overall, having been quickest of the petrol powered prototypes from start to finish in its maiden LMP1 outing.
In addition, Aston Martin Racing will compete in three races prior to the Le Mans 24 Hours 2010 with one LMP1 car. The races will provide the team with valuable on-track experience prior to Le Mans 2010 and include the first two rounds of the American Le Mans Series 2010 – the 12 hours of Sebring on 20th March and the Long Beach Grand Prix on 17th April and the opening round of the European Le Mans Series 2010 at Paul Ricard in France on 11th April.
