Lord Paul Drayson will be once again entering his Aston Martin Vantage GT2 car. Johnny Cocker will be his co-driver and apparently he has more support from Aston Martin this season.

Drayson Racing are moving to the LMS with the Vantage. They will only compete in Sebring, PLM and Laguna Seca in the ALMS as opposed to the full season last year

Looks cool, but would be nicer with a closed cockpit. But a great car, with the Patron livery it would look pretty epic.

I like the all-black, even though it won't race that way. It makes it look kinda mean.

Indeed... This is really too akward, just like 908 and Epsilon Euskadi - talking about purely visual aspects. Of course it's advanced design and so on but the joke about "single seaters with fenders" is just becoming too apparent. I loved the LMP2 Acura though. Unfortunately "no fundamental changes to chassis" in the future (2011-).

The Acura looks rather good.

I know this is the most ridiculous comparsion but the front of the Acura reminds me of this:

As the front looks rather 'spiky' to me. Must be the light going into the wing and the colour scheme as well.
