The young Aston Martin Le Mans racing team will be making its Japanese debut on Halloween with its hot Gulf Oil liveried LMP1. Given the October 31st running of the event, we were hoping for something a bit spookier.

While Americans are reinventing endurance racing in a dadaist manner, Europeans are still doing their thing at Le Mans, 86 years after the first race. And it was Audi vs. Peugeot yet again. Warning: spoilers.

Aston Martin is prepping two factory-backed Gulf-liveried works LMP1 to fight for overall finish at 24 Hours of Le Mans. The last time they managed this was 50 years ago. Can they do it again?
