We are just hours away from the Goodwood festival of speed and we all know what it means to every auto buff. Missing out on any update could de dubbed a folly for the fans can eat up on you, so I just thought of ensuring that every aspect is taken care off before the event gets underway.
I covered up everything which I thought was important, but, that did not please the Aston Martin fans as the Aston Martin Racing and Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts DBR9 which managed to win the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race wasn’t spoken about.
The winning Aston Martin Racing DBR9 was driven to GT1 class victory and a remarkable fifth overall by David Brabham, Rickard Rydell and Darren Turner after 24 hours of non-stop competition, illustrated by changeable conditions and several safety car periods.
It is for the first time Aston Martin has triumphed at the Le Mans in many years. The last time Aston Martin bagged this accolade was back in 1959, which means this trophy will be the most prominent one in their awards pergola.
This Sunday, after some arduous 24-hours, Brabham expertly guided the DBR9 over the finishing line in torrential rain to take the chequered flag. Brabham will now drive the DBR9 at the Goodwood Festival, up the famous hill route, in front of an anticipated record number of spectators.
Aston Martin’s Head of Product Communications & Motorsport, David King, said:
We’re delighted that the car is able to appear at the Goodwood Festival and it seems fitting that we celebrate our long-awaited win in front of our British fans.
All in all the presence of Aston Martin at Goodwood is gonna be a star attraction not just because it has won this time at Le Mans but because of its high end ‘luxury performance car’ reputation and the fact that it hails from the United Kingdom .
