Aston Martin Racing has today unveiled its ambitious plans for the 2016 season, its latest V8 Vantage GTE and an exciting new collaboration with global energy supplier TOTAL and tyre supplier Dunlop.
The premiere GT-racing outfit, which enters its 12th year of competition, will field a three-car campaign in this year's FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and 24 Hours of Le Mans; two contesting the GTE Pro class and a single entry in GTE Am.
With a raft of new regulation changes including a greater freedom on aero development, the team has unveiled its latest 2016 V8 Vantage GTE; the car which shall support the outfit's GTE Pro entries.
Boasting a fully redesigned aerodynamic package including a distinctly pronounced new rear diffuser, the team remains confident that it will be able to challenge at the sharp end of what will prove to be an extremely competitive WEC field.
New for the 2016 season, Aston Martin Racing will run exclusively on Dunlop rubber throughout the FIA WEC. Working closely together on testing and development throughout the winter months, the V8 Vantage GTE will be equipped with the latest Sport Maxx GT racing tyres.
Aston Martin Racing is also pleased to announce an exciting new collaboration with French energy specialist TOTAL. Joining the team for the 2016 season, TOTAL will provide technical support both at the factory and each round of the WEC season. Boasting over 60 years of knowledge and research in automotive fluids, TOTAL's branding will also feature as part of the V8 Vantage GTE's distinct new 'Stirling Green' livery.
