Aston Martin Racing’s Fantastic Four to Contest Petit Le Mans
Aston Martin Racing has today announced its driver line-up for the penultimate round of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) at Road Atlanta on September 30.
The British team will not be recruiting two additional drivers, for the ten-hour, 1,000-mile, Petit Le Mans endurance classic. Instead, the team will leave the driving to Aston Martin Racing regulars, Tomas Enge (Czech Republic) and Darren Turner (UK) in the 007 DBR9 and Pedro Lamy (Portugal) and Stephane Sarrazin (France) in the 009 DBR9.

VAN DER STEUR'S RADICAL SHAKEDOWN ‘FLAWLESS'
Braselton, Ga. – Gunnar van der Steur could hardly contain his joy. Even a full day after his first shakedown with his team's new AER-powered Radical SR9, the praise and excitement was overflowing.
"Fantastic!" he exclaimed. "We had a flawless day, other than a little weather. We did 70 laps total and didn't have any issues. The car is so precise. It's such a rewarding feeling. It's nice to have something new that you can work with."
The all-day test Wednesday at Summit Point Raceway in Virginia went about as well as van der Steur Racing could have hoped. Both van der Steur, the team owner, and Ben Devlin drove about 35 laps each in the KUMHO-shod Radical. Both pilots agreed that the new car, which will debut at Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda CX-7, is light years ahead of the team's former Lola B2K/40.
