Raced for the Aston Martin factory and for a variety of privateers from 2005-2011 – you can find details of its racing history from 2005-2008 HERE It narrowly failed to pre-qualify and was retired to the owner’s museum. The car was built by Synergie, a Le Mans based constructor with carbon fibre doors, wings and bonnet. For the 1995 Le Mans 24 hour race, French publishing magnate Michel Hommell, commissioned an Aston Martin DB7 uniquely powered by a 6.3 litre V8 (reportedly a detuned version of the Group C AMR1 engine) The first of the cars listed here that never raced. Powered by a Ford V8 the car took a British GT Championship race win in 1995, tried and failed to qualify for Le Mans the same year and continued in competition in the UK for a further two seasons with only one race cr produced ahead of a production run of the road car derivative, dubbed the Ascari Ecosse. The Ascari went racing when the new owner of the company, Klaas Zwaart saw an opportunity to promote his new acquisition. This compendium of DSC’s 6 part GT1 series has also had a couple more cars added.

We’ve included those cars that either only or mainly appeared in national ChampionshipsĪnd we’ve attempted at least to give an indication of when, where, and how successfully (if at all) they raced. We’ve omitted silhouette racers that have, on occasion been classed alongside the GT1 machines. Here though, to indicate the scope and scale of the development, ambition and aspiration of GT1 we’ve attempted to showcase all of the cars that raced, or in some cases nearly raced, in a GT1 class, a very close equivalent or in a class designed to encompass actual GT1 machinery, or cars that were later rolled into GT1.

There wasn’t one GT1 era, there were four, plus a variety of spin-off categories in a bewildering variety of international, continental and national series and Championships.
