Aston Martin DBR9/10

2007

The phrase "They saved the best for last" is one that Aston Martin Racing must have taken to heart when building Aston Martin DBR9/10. It was the final "works" DBR9 built, and it only competed one time, but what a race it was! This chassis won its class (and finished 5th overall) at the 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans, Aston Martin's first win at the famed endurance race since 1959! The driving trio of David Brabham, Darren Turner, and Rickard Rydell held off a hard charging Corvette to take the win after a rain soaked night.
