I don't know if anyone has already seen these, but I was at the Aston Martin 1st test back in November, thought you might like some pictures...

That is one beauty of a car.  Know what I'll be supporting next year.

Any idea of the drivers yet? Brundle and Blundell were mentioned before as possibles.

Also, who will Herbert & McNish be driving for?

I read somewhere McNish will miss Le Mans 2005 and concentrate on his DTM drive, coming back with the new audi in 06.

Herbert I think would be in either the Champion Audi or the MC12.

I doubt if either Blundall or Brundle will be in the Aston, they hope to run a team with Dave Price in 06
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

David Brabham, Tomas Enge and Darren Turner look to be favourite as they have done most, if not all, of the testing

Aren't Blundell and Brundle looking at running the team in 2005 ?

On a sort of related note. Does anyone know where I could buy plain green  T shirts a similar colour to the Aston Martin Green paint work. Fancy doing a shirt for Sebring.

Hi Chris,
Some people you may want to get in touch with are Jacque and Lilianne Sar at Auto Brass.  They have I boutique in the village at LeMans and always have their mobile shop at all of the ALMS and Grand Am races over here.  Jesus, I hate to think of how much money I've spent on their stuff over the years.  Lilianne usually recognizes me when I show up.  They will probably have some sort of Aston shirt in the works for Sebring.  You can try them (they have some pretty nice stuff on their website) at www.autobrass.com

Hi Chris24,
                 To save money you could turn the Bentley shirt inside out and have a T-Shirt shop print the Aston Martin Logo for you ;D

Have a word with yourself, Phil!
Home made corporate racewear? What's up with that?
It sort of reminds me of a complete and utter twat, next door neighbor of mine, back in the days when Red Nose Day wasn't the hackneyed old load of cobblers that it is now.
It was de rigeur for charitable do-gooders to attach a 'red nose' to their car.
In the true spirit of the affair, my sh*t-for-brains neighbor attempted to cut a ball cock in half to adorn the front of his Mini van, rather than pay the fiver or so that the genuine article cost. In doing so, he nearly cut his f**k*ng hand off when the stanley knife slipped. I think it's called poetic justice.
I think we can be fairly confident that there will be more DBR9 shirts at Sebring than soft mick, you mark my words.
If it\'s good and fast, it won\'t be cheap. If it\'s fast and cheap, it won\'t be good. If it\'s good and cheap, it won\'t be fast.
