Aston Martin DBR9 GT1 '10

The Aston Martin DBR9 GT1 '10 is a race car made by Aston Martin. It appears in Gran Turismo Sport (as part of Update 1.56) and Gran Turismo 7.
Contrary to its production year, the car represented in-game is based on the #007 driven by Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Andrea Piccini, and Karl Wendlinger at the 2008 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it finished 16th (4th in the GT1 class) with some decals replaced with fictional Gran Turismo sponsors, although it utilizes aero parts of the 2010 specification.

=== Car Index (GT7) ===
The Aston Martin DBR9 GT1 is a racing machine created by Aston Martin Racing to compete in GT1 category races. The base car is the DB9, and its name is taken from the DBR1, the first racing car of the Aston Martin DB series which won the 1959 Le Mans 24 Hour Race with a 1-2 finish, as well as many other sports car races.
In addition to reinforcing the road car chassis, the body panels were all changed to carbon fibre excluding the roof. The gorgeous interior characteristic to Aston Martin road cars has been stripped, with even the dashboard replaced with carbon fibre for less weight. The car was made over 600 kg lighter this way, weighing in at only 1,100 kg.
In addition to a wider fender, there is an additional front underspoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser and wing, plus the bottom of the car is made fully flat for improved aerodynamics.
The 5.9 litre V12 engine has undergone engine ECU tuning, raising its power from the 449 BHP / 58.1 kgfm of the road car up to 599 BHP / 71.4 kgfm. This is combined with an Xtrac 6 speed sequential transmission.
The DBR9 GT1 won its debut race at the 2005 Sebring 12 hour race, and until the GT1 category disappeared at the end of 2011, it had a spectacular career in racing. In 2006 it won the team and drivers' titles in ACO Le Mans Series, and in the FIA-GT it won the manufacturers' title. In 2007 and 2008, it won the GT1 class of the Le Mans 24 hour race 2 years in a row.

Do you know when Aston Martin started participating in international races? It was way back in the 1920s! They also competed at Le Mans until the 1950s, but then took a long break from motorsport. In fact, they had been off the scene for 30 years when they made their return in 2005. It was a triumphant return as well, with Aston Martin claiming victory at Sebring in their first race back. The winning car that day was a DBR9 GT1. Isn't it a beauty!? It would prove to be the start of a strong period for the DBR9. In 2007, it would be the first Aston Martin to finish in the top 5 at Le Mans for 48 years! It also won the GT1 class. Six Aston Martins entered Le Mans that year. All of them finished the race, too, showing that they had reliability as well as speed. No wonder Aston Martin soon rediscovered their passion for racing! At Le Mans 2008, a DBR9 was entered in the legendary Gulf Oil colours. It beat its Chevrolet Corvette rival to win the GT1 class for the second consecutive year!

==Trivia==
*The default car number, #007, cannot be used as a custom race number in the Livery Editor, as zeroes prefixing other numbers will be discarded.
**A similar behavior also occurs with the Honda NSX Gr.4, whose default car number is #00.
***On an unrelated topic, it is also a reference to the James Bond series of movies and novels, given his involvement with Aston Martin over the years, and the fact that this number is also commonly used on Aston Martin's race cars.
*The in-game DBR9 uses BBS rims, while most DBR9s used OZ rims.
*This is one of three cars in GT Sport to be anachronistic of its model year, the others being the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 '13 and the Porsche 962 C '88.
*Aston Martin also developed a GT3 customer version of the DBR9, the DBRS9, mentioned in the description of its successor, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 '12.
*It, along with the Gran Turismo F1500T-A and the Gran Turismo F3500-A, are the only cars added in content updates during the PS4/PS5 era games to contain fictional sponsors on the default livery.
**It is also the only non-fictional race car whose default livery's real-life sponsors were replaced by fictional ones, a technique also done in GT7 with some liveries in the All Japan GT Car Championship and Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters Special Events.
**Ironically, despite GT7 having Prodrive as a default Brand Logo in the Livery Editor, the 246 Press decals on the front and rear bumpers, initially substituting for the Prodrive decals in GT Sport, remained unchanged.
