Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE

Nygaard, Sorensen & Thim's Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE, Le Mans 24 hrs 2016.

Aston Martin, Banbury, England.   The road version of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage is at the core of this GTE race car.  The aluminium chassis and core of the engine are the same.  However, the race car is lighter through the use of  carbon fibre body panels and because a lot of the interior is stripped out.  There is a big rear wing at the back and the 4.5 litre V8 engine is repositioned and tuned.  In 2014 The all Danish crew won the GTE Am class at Le Mans and finished an excellent 19th overall.  Aston Martin nearly repeated this in 2015 but crashed out in the last hour.

Top photo tips
This photo was taken with a €350 Compact Camera (Panasonic Lumix) from the spectator enclosures so don't believe all you read on the web about the impossibility of taking photos at Le Mans without extreme equipment or a press pass.
