A piece of Aston Martin Racing history for sale

A piece of Aston Martin Racing history for sale


One of only ten such examples ever made by Aston Martin Racing, Racecarsdirect.com are listing for sale one such example of this rare breed - the DBR9 GT1.

Raced for the last few seasons within both the Masters Historic and the Peter Auto Endurance Legends Series, we last saw this car compete with its present owner Dominic Roschmann at the Aston Martin Festival at Le Mans in 2018 where the car finished third overall in that race behind  race winners Peter Dumbreck/Chris Harris in their Aston Martin Vulcan and second placed Benny Simonsen and Lasse Sorensen in their AMR Vantage GTE.



Original built as chassis nine, this cars racing career lasting just two seasons before a substantial accident at the 2007 Spa 24hr that warranted a complete chassis change by Prodrive but despite this work, the chassis retained its DBR9/9 numbering. The damaged chassis is even included in this sale.

Three old favourites at Spa Classic

Three old favourites at Spa Classic


Three old cars from Aston Martin Racings past are presently competing this weekend at the Spa Classic in the Endurance Racing Legends entry list of thirty three cars.

Two much raced AMR DBR9's of both Dominik Roschmann and Nikolaus Ditting join the Franz Wunderlich/Peter Praller ex JMW Vantage GT2 for two - thirty minute races on Saturday around something of a rather damp looking Spa circuit.



This meeting is their second of the season after a season opener at the Espíritu de Montjuïc from Barcelona in early April.

DBR9 victories at the Motor Legends Festival from Imola

DBR9 victories at the Motor Legends Festival from Imola


Last weekend saw the first round of the newly created Masters Endurance Legends Series at Monza for eligible cars from major endurance series that raced between 1995 and 2012.

That event saw two Aston Martin Racing DBR9's take part as well as a familiar AMR V12 Vantage GT3 in the two race meeting. German's Nikolaus Ditting and Domonik Roschmann each racing their respective G2-GT1 class cars with another German, Alexander Lienau racing his Bilstein liveried Invitaional class GT3 that we more affectionally knew as Billie.


Over the first of the two races from the weekend, the original starting grid of 19 cars was unfortunately decimated with mechanical failure with eight cars failing to finish. Despite the 'carnage' around them, the #90 Ditting DBR9 secured its first class win of the series 20 seconds ahead of the stablemate Roschmann in second.


Sundays second race luckily had less attrition with just two cars failing to finish although only 16 cars started the race and in a reversal of fortune, the Roschmann DBR9 finished ahead of the Ditting car. Lienau finished each race well behind the second of the two DBR9's - although ahead of others in Race 2!

Next round the Endurance Legends series will be at the Brands Hatch Historic Festival at end of May after which we should see at least one or two of these cars at the AMR Festival from Le Mans in June.
