As we come to the end of June, Le Mans month, I thought it was fitting that we featured the Le Mans GT1 winner as a follow up to the Corvette C6.R feature . The Aston Martin DBR9 won a close battle this year at Le Mans, making it two class wins in two years. Aston Martin has a long history in Endurance Racing , including an overall win at Le Mans in
