David Richards of Aston Martin Racing to be honoured

David Richard will receive the Spirit of Le Mans Trophy at next week’s press conference given by the ACO.  The Briton was responsible for the entry of Aston Martin in the FIA WEC and its return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans via Prodrive.  Aston Martin Racing has announced that the British marque will continue in GTE for five more years, and a new GTE challenger will replace the current Vantage GTE in 2018.
