In 1959, in fact, the legendary Carroll Shelby, along with the driver Roy Salvadori, won the 24 Hours of Le Mans behind the wheel of DBR1.
This new prototype is based on a chassis Charouz, and the V12 engine is the same that has equipped the DBR9, victorious 2 times in the GT1 class. Aston will retire from the latter class (while maintaining support for private teams) to focus exclusively on the project LMP1, in order to return the title after so long in Britain.
