Recent Changes

  • On April 24, 2009, Aston Martin announced their return to the 24 Hours of Nurburgring by introducing their specially modified V12 Vantage racer for the job. The car is liveried in striking sky blue with white streaks over the a-pillars. Interestingly, the car is close to standard with only very minimal changes made to reduce weight and improve handling. Pirelli has also provided specially selected P Zero Circuit Racing slick tyres. [1]
