Default Aston Martin race team gets owned... buahahaha!

It appears that George Howard-Chappell, the team principal of Aston Martin Racing, hurt his back whilst at Le Mans for the test day last weekend and had to leave his Aston at the track. BIG MISTAKE with the Corvette Racing Team boys about.

Didn't you guys see the 2009 C7 Vette prototype in the media? This is one of the test cars. Also notice the new Vette branding label on the nose.

If GM keeps it up... there will be many more design influences in the not so distant future!

While at Petit LeMans last year we saw some of the AM team messing around at the front of one of the Corvette haulers, when we got up close they had put a set of AM wings on the hood of the hauler. I guess this was payback.
