Jeffrey L. Scott General Manager European Operations Managing Director Aston Martin Lagonda of Europe GmbH

Big 5 originally refers to the five most challenging and popular species of “Big Game” animals. For Aston Martin owners, the Big 5 stands for five unforgettable events in 2011 designed to take your breath away.

Every one of them will take you to different interesting places in Europe, and give you the opportunity to experience your Aston Martin sports car as you have never experienced it before. Explore the true potential of your Aston Martin on legendary racetracks and proving grounds, or enjoy our professional snow and ice driving training with James Bond appeal. Because that is what our cars are built for. It would be an honor for me to meet you at one or more of our Big 5 events, to enjoy ultimate driving pleasure.

Power, Beauty, Soul. – Pure Aston Martin.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Wolfgang Schuhbauer Director Aston Martin Nürburgring Test Centre Managing Director Aston Martin Lagonda of Europe GmbH

Enjoy the racebred performance of our Aston Martin sports cars, a class-leading range, supremely elegant and powerful, all with different characters. Every one of our sports cars provides outstanding performance, coupled with inherent agility and perfect weight distribution.

This is what it takes to achieve ideal balance on winding country roads and demanding race circuits.

We would love to welcome you as part of an exclusive circle to attend these special events in five selected locations in Europe.

In 2011 it will be the sixth year in succession that our driver team will compete at the legendary 24h race Nordschleife Nürburgring. And in the VLN series on a Friday afternoon be my co-pilot in our racecar, I would be pleased to take you out for a 24km long hot lap on the Nordschleife.
