This group is great, who can argue against the beauty of a classic Aston Martin?
I thought you Aston Martin fans might be interested to learn that our film production produced a TV-series called GT-RACER, featuring races with some great Aston Martin's in just about ever episode. We even capture some great footage of the famous Project Car at Silverstone, Nurbrugring and Spa. The DB4GT Works Lightweight even appears at Laguna Seca and Lime Rock.
GT-RACER is now out on DVD. You can see trailers on the director's page on the VRL here:

Also, make sure you check out Shaken & Stirred, a Cinema Verite Documentary devoted to classic Aston Martin racing at Spa!
You can order the DVDs here:

I do know that 1 lightweight is for sale at the moment and if anybody is interested in buying it and getting into racing i would be delighted in putting them in contact with the owner. It is a front runner !
I'd always want to be a member of any Group that you sponsor :-))
