Sarrazin joins Aston Martin

Former F1 driver-turned World Rally Championship star Stephane Sarrazin is to race for the Aston Martin team in the Sebring 12 Hours in Florida on March 19. He replaces Tomas Enge who has had to drop out because of his recently-signed Indy Racing League deal with Panther Racing. Sarrazin will now partner Peter Kox and Pedro Lamy in one of the two Aston Martin DBR9s, while the other car will be driven by David Brabham, Darren Turner and Stephane Ortelli.
