Aston Martin Racing has been crowned the 2009 Le Mans Series champion claiming the Team and Driver titles 50 years on from the manufacturer winning the World Sportscar Championship in 1959 with the DBR1.

Aston Martin Racing secured its second podium finish of the Le Mans Series season after a fine drive from Tomas Enge, Stefan Mucke and Jan Charouz saw the #007 Lola Aston Martin come through from the back of the field at Spa.

Aston Martin Racing endured mixed results at Paul Ricard as it hit the track with its new Lola LMP1 machinery for the first time.

Tomas Enge has received the Golden Wheel Award as the Czech Republic's top racing driver for the sixth year in a row - and will be looking to do the sae in 2005 as he transfers full-time to the Indy Racing League.

Czech star Tomas Enge says he is hopeful of having a second season of IRL racing next year, to add to the two events he did at the end of the 2004 season.

Panther Racing, the most successful team in Indy Racing League history with 13 IndyCar Series wins, 6 Infiniti Pro Series victories and two overall IRL driver's titles, has begun its search to replace Sam Hornish Jr in the #4 Pennzoil Dallara-Chevrolet next year as well as auditioning candidates
