The
Aston-Martin AMR-1 raced during the heyday of Group C racing,
introduced
during the 1989 World Championship season. The AMR1's best
finish
was a fourth place at Brands Hatch. The team placed sixth in
the
Team's Championship behind Team Sauber Mercedes, Joest Racing, Brun
Motorsport,
and the Silk Cut Jaguars of TWR. Soon after the project was
cancel
though that probably had as much to do with internal Aston-Ford politics as
any perceived performance deficit.
