I NEVER said there was a green lights class. I only said they used different color lights for different classes. See thats the problem, people start putting words in other peoples' mouths. I also said I wasn't sure if green was even a light color used.

Again I said the DBR9 will run in Le Mans in 2006, never did say whether it was running in anything else in 2005. I am pretty sure they are not running Le Mans next year and are focusing on the smaller races.

sorry...youre wrong. clearly you were using your superior knowledge of all things motorsport to inform RB why the Aston has green lights. and clearly you were wrong. so let it go. i understand you want to be the uber-motorsports fan but it doesnt happen overnight.

the DBR9 will run in LeMans in 2005. Yes, it will also run in 2006. It would seem retarded to tell people a car will compete in 2006 if it will compete in 2005.

sorry to be a prick.

Sorry to be a bigger prick... the DBR9 is rumored to be running Le Mans in 2005. Most sites have conflicting information, some are saying yes they will run and some aren't. Even though Aston Martin Racing says they will run I am not going to believe it. Many teams make grandoise plans to run in an event, until the events list comes out I am going to stick with the fact that the DBR9 will probably run Le Mans in 2005.

Since you are making a personal attack, I'll stoop down and make one too. You aren't the head honcho for Aston Martin Racing so hush. You don't know anything about the team and you are just like me a couch racer who thinks they know too much. So unless you are getting your pay stubs signed by Aston Martin lets all just stare at the amazing car and hope they run in 2005 against the Pro Drive Maranellos.

Jesus Christ, people!
Can we talk about the damn car, or do we want to debate semantics?

Mike's lighting explanation settled the "green" light issue long ago.

There is special studio film for use under tungsten lights, or if it was taken with a digital camera the white balance could be set for the tungsten lamps. Turning on the xenon headlights of the car add another light source of different color temperature. You ever notice how fluorescent lights show up green in photos? Xenon lamps have a similar color temperature to fluorescent lights, so in this picture which is balanced for the color temperature of the prevailing tungsten lighting, the xenon lights appear green.
Sean...your ass was handed to you on this one. Accept it.
