Aston Martin
DBR9

Why it matters

The DBR9 was Aston Martin's GT1 racing car, a race-built version of the DB9 developed with Prodrive for Aston Martin Racing. Only 32 were planned, so it was a small run, yet it was the best rival of the Corvette C6.R and won its class at Le Mans in 2007.

History

Aston Martin Racing, a joint venture between the vehicle manufacturer and Prodrive, built the cars at Prodrive's Banbury operation. The team converted a DB9 into a racer by keeping its bonded aluminium chassis cab in near standard form, and the body was carbon fibre and aluminium.

The programme was planned as 12 works cars and 20 customer cars. The first outing gave a GT1 class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring, and later works cars were run by privateers under factory conditions. The first chassis began its career with a win, according to the endurance-series history.

Chassis number 10 won the 2007 Le Mans 24 Hours in the LM GT1 class and finished fifth overall. In 2010 customer teams such as Hexis Racing raced the cars in the FIA GT1 World Championship.
