Anyone taking bets if Nissan will bring the GT-R to the party?

Bell Motorsports raced their Aston Martin DBR9 with Dunlop tires for 6 out of 11 races in the 2007 American Le Mans Series. Corvette Racing will move to the GT2 class in the second half of the 2009 ALMS season.

not so sure on the weight...but I would definately like to see them back in ALMS

Shame Aston Martin don't come back to ALMS so they actually have someone to race against. The Corvette's and the Aston's had exactly the same restrictor plates and weight at Le Mans, so it would definitely be competitive.

nice.

Nothing like hearing the big bore V-8's tear around a course like that, vettes have a sound all their own that gives you goose bumps. Check out NJMP.com for a great new track in my neck of the woods. Thanks

back when...Astons cried (to ALMS officials)so much they made Corvette do something different to the car for everyrace it seemed...added weight,kept changing restrictor sizes,etc..mainly to keep an even playing field..Astons and Prodrive team are top notch,Corvette Racing is the exact same..(since they had to add weight,and so on,..it was hard on brakes,tires wearing faster,suspension,etc..no matter what new rule they gave Corvette Racing,they were innovative/invented ways to keep the car FAST...Aston said "to hell with this,thought it was some kind of conspiracy,and stayed in LMS,which they are awesome cars for sure... love to see them and Corvette go at it at LeMan(Astons doing awesome)...We'll get some competion soon,and thats why you see the Vettes racing each other(can get boring),gathering data,being on top of their game for the day other teams and manufacturers decide to go GT1...damn,sorry for rambling,lol

The Aston Martins are beautiful cars and very fast. But if you paid attention they only raced a few times last year and thats because the following year vettes ate them up everytime. The organization changed the rules to give the Aston's more performance so they would actually race. They only want to race if they have a chance. They gave the vettes a bigger restrictor and if you look closely you can see the Aston's were allowed bigger splitter's also. Glad to see the Ford GT's out there.

atleast these guys are putting these type of wings to real use. Not like a lot of ricer that think that their cars will look "FASTER" with them.

Hearing those Corvettes is one of the best things about attending an ALMS race. God, I miss that Panoz prototype, for the same reason.
