The company may have had a chequered business past but Aston Martin have, over the years, consistently produced arguably the world s most classy sports cars as well as enjoying a long and successful history in motor-racing. Aston Martin only raced variations of the cars that they built for sale to the public so they were never really in a position to win Le Mans outright, that is until the maximum engine size limit matched the size of the engine s they were building. They used top line drivers and soon established a very competent team set-up that was able to compete for the prizes.
