An press release
Earlier this week, in preparation for the just-finished test session at the Paul Ricard HTTT, Ravenwest Aston Martin (RAM) officially reveal the liveries of their two main title contenders, after a teaser was released some time ago.
The team, which also took part in this years 24 Hours of Le Mans, albeit under a different name and came about as a partnership between Aston Martin, the legendary Ravenwest Motorsport and some person called Morten, is staying with Aston Martin in the LMGT class for the inaugural WSC, starting with the 24 Hours of Daytona in under a month.
Before the reveal, the team manager, Morten Pedersen, said following:
"So yeah, we were told that we couldn't run three significantly different liveries like we did at Le Mans, but we think we've got around it. As for the car, we know Aston Martin is usually very competitive and I have no doubt we'll be seeing an Aston on the top step of the podium at some point"
He then went on to talk about the drivers he had hired for the two cars:
"The #94 is the one partially run by Ravenwest themselves and thus they've also put together their own lineup of drivers. It's a highly competitive lineup consisting of the two McKanes who won't confirm nor deny that they're related, with Rick Scott taking the third spot in that car. None of them are very communicative, though - we might as well have three Stigs!
#95 is the one I'll be racing in myself, and I've got two very experienced drivers with me, Stellan Hansen and Cesar Maques, both former Shark Team candidates with years of racing under the belt. They may be a bit rusty right now, seeing as Le Mans was their first race in two years, but I'm confident they'll soon find their speed again."
As for the third car they've reserved, he had following to say:
"We're still looking for drivers, so if you think you have the skills required to drive it, send me an email or go to the topic on Yahoo Answers and the seat is yours - first come, first take!"
The final question answered was about why they're doing an "official" reveal after having already given it away in the teaser, to which he responded:
"1: because the teaser didn't generate enough hype for our sponsors and 2: because we can"
