Could the actual livery look more like this? I quite like this.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the livery for the Le Mans 24h will be the subject of a contest again, correct?

No second driver announced yet I see.

Now that Porsche have listed their drivers some good names are available for what is effectively the Works Aston

AMR confirms two factory cars for LM24 2010.

Quote:
The team will also compete in selected blue riband races around the world post Le Mans, details of the remaining race programme and sixth driver will be subject to further announcements in the coming weeks.
Fernandez is listed as part of the driver lineup. Any contract related woes must now have been sorted.

That is great that the team will be doing races on both sides of the pond to prepare for LeMans. It will be interesting to see what races they do after the 24. I guess Petit is likely, and maybe another race in Europe or Asia?

Absence of Jan Charouz... I actually read the Renault (test) driver lineup announcement yesterday but apparently did not register his name. Surprising because usually when a driver moves away from single seater "ladder" system, there is no going back. Antonin's wealthiness might have played a part here.

I think Silverstone and Petit or Asia - if they intended to to both why would they not state they are planning on doing the LMIC?

I'd guess Charouz' money is the only reason Jan is there...

Do Aston/Prodrive have the capability to build an engine from scratch (for 2011), or will they go elsewhere, i.e. Cosworth?

In this time i think it's unlikely that they dare build their own.
Cosworth is a likely choice, as they are british and have good experience with all types of engines, and is receiving good funding from several F1 teams.
Maybe Cosworth will make a "standard" Le Mans engine to compete with Judd, AIM and Mazda?

The electronic of the AMR are from Cosworth at this moment but they didn´t work on a decent endurance engine since ages. Latest Cosworth endurance engine was a pain in the ass.

For sure, most drivers that step back into the single-seater game in Formula Renault 3.5 don't end up as concurrent F1 testers either! Of course, most are not reigning LMS P1 champions either, but still...

Anyway, it's a 3rd test driver role behind Tung and D'Ambrosio who are racing for DAMS in GP2 so it's not like he's liable to see much serious seat time, but it makes a nice fun diversion and resume-stuffer.

I'm assuming this is the 2009 'Lola' Aston that will be used? And we'll have to wait until 2011 to see the true factory prototype? All the same, great news... Can't wait to hear the V12 whine one last time!
