"""Seeing as they spend a lot of time testing vehicles at the Nürburgring, Aston Martin has decided to set up shop with a permanent test/engineering facility at the famous circuit. The automaker has obtained an existing structure and is busy preparing the facility for a May 2008 opening. All new models go through a final long-distance shakedown on the track, and having their own shop next to the Nordschleife gives them a handy base at which they can also host customer-focused events that use the 'Ring as part of the draw. Aston Martin loves the track, and has used it as the inspiration for the V8 Vantage N400 road car, itself inspired by the exploits of the company's N24 factory racer. The above rendering of the facility has been released, giving a great idea of what the new facility will look like... if it was to be part of the online world in Second Life."""

Because of David Richards, Aston Martin has brought themselves back to the levels of Ferrari and Porsche and im so happy about it.

Im mean a GT1, GT2, GT3, GT4, and even an LMP entry. :goodjob:

that is definitely the worst thing Ive seen in a long time. I wonder who released that. They should be ashamed of themselves.

The LMP1 entry is just as an engine provider to a Lola chassis. An entry nonetheless.
