Aston Martin delivers "faultless" performance in Asian Le Mans

Those car insurance policyholders who are fans of classic autos may have enjoyed watching the 007 Aston Martin LMP1 performance at the Asian Le Mans this weekend.

Driver Stefan Mucke recounted what a "pleasure" it was to clinch victory in the race's second round in Okayama, Japan.

"The car was brilliant to drive ... during my first stint the car got better and better each lap and the [Michelin] tyres gave me the confidence to overtake," he commented.

Both drivers experienced some ups and downs over the course of the three-hour race.

Pit stops and refuelling breaks made for a tense last 60 minutes, but the two motorists impressed their peers on the British team with their "skill and speed".

Aston Martin's DBRS9 recently won the FIA GT3 European Championship by a "comfortable" margin.

It was the latest feather in the cap of the Hexis Racing AMR team - which won six podium places, three wins and four pole positions in 2009.
