Mind you, when push comes to shove, there's always the airfield next door at Le Mans - there's been a few cars over the years doing final "shakedown" testing there after qualifying.....

Seems to me they need to shake down a lot off that car to make it quick. Maybe they should shake out the engine and replace it with something sensible, an old audi diesel perhaps? :-X

Come on guys.......be fair.
At least AM have built their own chassis and are developing their own engine to boot and with probalbly a fraction of the budget that Audi and Puegeot have.
Just because they are having a few teething problems,it's not the end of the world....after all even if they fail this year,there is a whole 12 months to get the car ready for next year!!!

You forgot the bit about me being drafted in at the last moment to drive the winning car, making me the heaviest winning driver ever. ;)

Well Pistonheads management are optomistic that the Astons are going to run as their offering a prize of a tour round the pit's during the race:

Might be best for the winners to get the tour in sooner rather than later during the race ::)
