Aston Martin to miss Spa

Aston Martin will not compete at next weekend's Spa 1000km.

"We could go to the Spa 1000km race in May, but this race meeting will set an agenda for us that doesn't allow us to achieve what we need to accomplish," said Aston Martin Racing chairman David Richards.

"We need to complete our testing at our own pace including engine, aero and long distance tests."
