Hmmm. Embarassing if he wins, against anything with AMR support!
Still, good luck to him, I say.
I hear it was a bit um, quiet, at Britcar testing?

Looks pretty sleak in that photo.

Driver appears sat low compared to most open cars even when you take the high sides into account.

Adrian Fernandez tweeted that the AMR-One LMP1 plans to be at Lime Rock, Laguna Seca, and 2 other ALMS events in addition to Petit. This is all of course dependent upon funding, etc. http://www.tweetdeck.com/twitter/AdrianF007/~RWpqI

Sad thing is, that any car, whether it be racer or road car, should be a beast of beauty if it's badged Aston Martin.

even better report on piston heads, darren turner spills the beans about the engine not yet being capable of 550bhp therefore they cannot yet get to grip with the aero package.......well thats one way of putting it I suppose!

I can NOT take that exhaust serious!
What has happened with AMR, they start to remind me of something WR could do on a bad day!

Indeed, they look like amateurs.

This comment of Darren Turner about the engine is not encouraging either:
Quote:
"It's a brand new engine straight off the dyno," he said. "Well, actually straight off the drawing board, then into the dyno and then on track. But the best way to test an engine is to put it on track. So even with the small amount of running we have done, that has given the engineers a huge amount of information that can be applied to the motor before it is tested again in the next couple of weeks."
