Aston Martin has unveiled its livery for the 2019/20 FIA World Endurance Championship.
The Vantage AMR will be going into its second season in the WEC, having made its debut in the 2018/19 Super Season. It had a fair amount of success in its first season, scoring class wins at Shanghai and Spa-Francorchamps and taking pole position for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For its debut season, the pair of Vantages ran in lime green with orange accents for the #95 and green accents for the #97. For the new livery, the lime green returns, but has been paired with a contrasting dark green on the side, rear and roof of the car.
Aston Martin Racing will once again enter two Vantage AMRs in the GTE Pro category this season, with an unchanged driver line-up. Nicki Thiim and Marco Sorensen will return to the #95, while Spa race winners Maxime Martin and Alex Lynn have once again been paired together in the #97. The GTE Pro class has been slimmed down to six cars as both Ford and BMW ended their WEC commitments at Le Mans last month. Porsche and Ferrari remain.
The 2018/19 season will be the first in which the new Vantage will be available for GTE Am teams after the previous Vantage was also phased out at Le Mans. Two teams will run the car as TF Sport will join Aston Martin Racing in class. It is unclear at this time is the Am car will run the same livery as the Pro cars.
