For the 4th edition of the Oxigen Le Mans 24hrs and in the best tradition of Anglo Dutch co operation, Sports Carazing (mr Gary Skipp's team which he so gallantly withdrew in 2014 to make room on the grid for others) and Racing for Holland have joined forces once again.
We will be running a 2005 ASTON MARTIN DBR9 GT1 with the Union Jack on the sides under the united banner of Sports Carazcing for Holland.

Our 1/32 Aston Martin will sport body work based on the Black Arrow DBR9 which is by far the most "optimised" yet also "best looking" DBR9 available for the 1/32nd slot.

The high level of detail finish and availibility of the lightweight Black Arrow parts will save me a lot of work, but...
...as a self declared scale freak there are still a few differences between the 2007 DBR9 that the Black arrow car is modelled after and the 2005 DBR9 that Aston Martin ran on their return to Le Mans after 50 years.
The main differences being the two extra ducts in the hood and the "bulged" front spoiler that AMR developed for the 2005 LM 24hrs cars in an order to decrease the front downforce.
As this clearly distinguishes the "look" of the 2005 car from all the other dbr9's this will have to be modified..so there's still some scratchbuilding to do![wink.gif]()

Underneath the body we'll be running a further development of the Laser cut GRP chassis I did for the F458 we ran in the Suzuka 1000 race last October in Best, The Netherlands

When time allows it I will be posting updates on both the Body and chassis work in the coming weeks that are left till we race in Henley once again.
to be continued
with kind regards
