After exactly 50 years Aston Martin strikes back to Le Mans to repeat its win in the LMP1 class. Aston Martin's racing successes peaked in the late 1950s when the DBR1 won seven major races outright, clinching the 1959 World Championship. All but one of these wins were scored by a single chassis; 'DBR1/2'. Among these scalps was the most important race of all: the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959. In the fifty years since, Aston Martin has only rarely tried racing at the top level again and with little success. Now half a century later, the British manufacturer will once again attempt to take top honors in the French classic with a car tentatively named 'DBR1-2' by Aston Martin in reference to the single most successful racing car they ever built.
