Two Aston Martin cars will be racing 1,000 km and 215 laps at the first ever Le Mans Series night race this Saturday, starting 7:15 pm local time at the new Autodromo Internacional Algarve in Portugal.

Participating in the 6-hour race will be Aston Martin’s LMP1 GT cars: the 007 to be driven by Jan Charouz, Tomas Enge and Stefan Mucke; and the 009 car entrusted to Harold Primat, Miguel Ramos and Darren Turner. Aston Martin Racing team principal George Howard-Chappell said that Aston Martin is happy to be racing again and that its goal to win the races should be of reach now without the factory diesel cars.
