In 2006, the factory Aston Martin Racing team used this car in their all out onslaught of the American Le Mans Series. They battled week in and week out with the factory Corvette Racing team and took two GT1 victories. Darren Turner and Tomas Enge were chosen as pilots for the #007 DBR9. They were joined by Andrea Chiesa for the 12 Hours of Sebring and Peter Kox replaced Turner during the Mosport race. Turner and Enge managed to score wins at Miller Motorsports Park, and at the 10 hour Petit Le Mans. This car was also used in the 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans with Andrea Piccini joining Turner and Enge. The trio finished 2nd in class behind a yellow Corvette once again.
