Racing Re-Birth
Following that famous victory, there was no factory Aston Martin presence for more than 40 years - before Aston Martin was re-born in 2004 through a partnership with Prodrive with the DBR9, based on the DB9 road car.
In 2006 Aston Martin returned to compete on the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany, where much of the early development of the V8 Vantage road car took place. The all-new Vantage N24 race car finished 24th overall and fourth in class: an astonishing debut.
Buoyed by this success, it made its Middle East debut later the same year, finishing eighth in the inaugural Bahrain 24 Hours.
The car returned to the Nurburgring 24 Hours in 2007 with Aston Martin’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez, once more amongst the driving crew: a sign of just how deeply motorsport is embedded in Aston Martin’s DNA.
Glory Days Return
After a 48 year wait Aston Martin triumphed again at Le Mans 2007. The winning Aston Martin Racing DBR9 – numbered 009 – was driven to GT1 class victory and a remarkable fifth overall by David Brabham, Rickard Rydell and Darren Turner after 24 hours of non-stop competition.
In total, there were six DBR9s entered for the 75th Le Mans 24 Hours – two each for Aston Martin Racing and AMR Larbre Competition, plus single-car entries from AMR BMS and Team Modena. All six cars made the finish proving Aston Martin were back to their racing best.
One year on from Aston Martin’s first victory in the GT1 class – the 009 DBR9 of David Brabham, Antonio Garcia and Darren Turner claimed another GT1 win at Le Mans 2008. The 009 car – this time resplendent in the iconic Gulf livery – took the class victory at the La Sarthe circuit.
The second factory Aston Martin DBR9, 007, finished fourth in class thanks to an excellent drive from Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Andrea Piccini and Karl Wendlinger. The privateer DBR9 of Team Modena finished eighth in the GT1 class.
