Richards was on Motors TV last night and once again sounded like the Vantage GT2 would be the basis for any 'World Championship' car.

David Coulthard also said he's open to offers for Le Mans, so long as it's with driver friends, I wonder if the Robin Brundle Aston Martin/Lola connection could eventually see him in one of those cars.

MB has recently cleared some of his other commitments - but whether there is something related to this and the Le Mans AMR drivers is at this stage pure speculation.

Maybe Aston Martin will use the Vantage V12 RS (a V8 Vantage with a V12 engine) as the basis for a new GT1 car?

They use the roadversion of the Vantage V12 RS as some kind of homologation special.

Because some current GT2 cars will "evolve" into GT1 cars in 2010, hopefully creating a resurgence for the class. A higher displacement GT1 sure seems feasible given Aston Martin's current line of road cars.

From Autosport:

Quote:
Robin Brundle has been appointed as the new managing director of racing car constructor Lola Cars International.

The 46-year-old joins Lola from Aston Martin, where he had been the managing director of the company's racing arm, having previously run the Brundle Group automotive retail business with his brother, ex-Formula One driver Martin Brundle.
Here was Murphy's "take" on that news:

Quote:
Banbury hoped to (re)place a Vantage program in North America, then abruptly may have gone after a piece of the Jaguar program. Regardless of declarations to the contrary, Subaru’s WRC withdrawal hurt. Robin Brundle is off to Lola. Why not? That may be where the Aston action is.

David Brabham has said that there maybe wont be any factory Gt1 Astons, but maybe something in Lmp1!

I wouldnt mind what Brabham has to say , as he doesnt drive for AMR , how could he be privy to what exactly is going on .

Who would you believe first about what is going on in AMR , Brabham or Richards ?

Autosport magazine claims that 2 LMP 1 Aston Martin engined Lolas are under construction at Lola for Prodirve to run and suggest that this will be under the Gulf sponsorship.

It makes perfect sense seeing as much of the development work has already been completed and, you would think, the purchase and running costs of a P1 is not all that different to the GT1's.

Gulf sponsored Aston Martins would also be attractive to collectors, who could purchase the cars, as happened with the GT1's.

Murphy's got some news!
107. Trouble in Paradise, Clarifying Cats, Porker Proto Possible

Le Sarthe, then Oblivion?
Murphy’s been told that three coupes on the build floor at Huntington are indeed for the Gaydon, Warwickshire builder of iconic automobiles. Two are certainly being equipped with V12s having cores of Teutonic design and head covers emblazoned with the famous wing logo. The third may be the same. All three will go from Huntington to France in June for the classic in Le Sarthe, thence straight into the dark garages of the oligarchs who have financed them.




----------------------------


Come on Richards....... you should have had these Gulf beauties on the grid for the orange grove race in March!


Either way I CAN"T WAIT

Bit of a bummer if they attempt to put all their eggs in one basket for just one year, as the odds are heavily against them I think.

Dare to dream! That would make an already great '09 race into an epic battle. Aston vs. Pug vs. R15 vs. Acura.
Too bad these beauties will only be seen once.
