    The tantalizing Lola-Aston Martin B09/60 ...

    Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

    For many enthusiasts a proper sports car has a roof, a striking livery and a glorious engine note. The second of our 'diesel challengers' ticks all of those boxes. It is the 2009 incarnation Lola-Aston Martin that has won the first round of the Le Mans Series a few weeks ago.
    Unfortunately the fantastic car has been overshadowed by controversy concerning its name. If you would follow chassis builder Lola and the homologation papers, it is a Lola-Aston Martin B09/60 but engine supplier and entrant Aston Martin Racing will have you believe the car is in fact called the Aston Martin DBR1-2. We have taken a middle ground and for now labeled it the Lola-Aston Martin B09/60. Aston Martin's, still unofficial type-name, is a reference to the chassis number of the Aston Martin DBR1 that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans back in 1959. Now fifty years later Aston Martin is back with its most serious assault in the French classic since. Whatever it may be called, the new Lola-Aston is a fantastic racing car that undoubtedly be a fan favorite due to the legendary Gulf livery and the howling exhaust note of the DB9 sourced V12 engine. The season started off well for Aston Martin Racing but we will have to wait until the next round of the Le Mans Series at Spa to see how the car stacks up against the top diesel runners.
    At Catalunya we have inspected every detail of the tantalizing B09/60. This has resulted in an exclusive 18-shot gallery illustrating a detailed article.
    Tomorrow the third new diesel challenger will be highlighted.

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Thanks for the update.
    Should Comcast, which is buying NBC, have more motorsports coverage on VERSUS and now NBC? Does North America need a racing tv channel? Find the answer to that exact question on facebook.
