| Muy bonito, los colores son "muy" Aston Martin, aunque me temo que no esté siendo tan competitivo como el DBR9 en su categoría. En Europa, en GT3, no les va muy allá. |

Precioso..... Ahora una pregunta: Alguien me puede explicar pq en algunas competiciones se les pone un limpia monobrazo a los coches, y esta con el en posicion central???  Supongo que sera mas arriesgado para que se joda si le salta algo y lo parte |
Hasta siempre Pepe!
