Aston Martin's Le Mans challenger makes race debut

Aston Martin's new and distinctive Gulf liveried and sponsored Le Mans Series challenger, the AMR-One, has undergone a full race test at the opening round of the Le Mans Series at Paul Ricard this weekend.

The AMR-One completed a total of 96 laps, more than the entire shake-down tests completed to date. Apart from a misfire, the car exceeded all expectations at this early stage of development, with modifications made throughout the weekend to improve driver feedback with every stint.
