Thank you for appropriately contributing to a MOTOR SPORT discussion...

So is it the Vantage or the DB9? If it's the Vantage, is it the same model as the Factory WEC one?

I say good for her, not really a fan of her, but you can't go wrong with an Aston. Best of luck to her and her team.

Name a single Aston Martin Endurance win in the past 5 years.

LMP1 2009 in LMS, as well as last year the Muscle Milk car beat the Dyson Mazda at long beach among other wins.

Also the DB9R won Le Mans back in 07 I believe, if I follow the five year time line you asked for.

Le Mans 2008.

Hey RoarofZonda, 'tiffosi' is the plural of 'tiffoso'. And that's my only comment on your enlightening post ...

It's an 'old' GT2 Vantage, I think it could be the JMW Motorsport car from 2010.

Blah blah PETA. Blah blah Pam Anderson is ugly. Blah blah crappy livery. Blah blah team name is terrible. Blah blah lol she's so stupid. Blah blah more irrelevant nonsense.

Blah blah this post was basically the same thing phrased differently.

You see, I get that you loathe Pam Anderson for some reason. And I get that PETA is somehow involved in this hatred. And I also got that you ignored McLaren when he theorized that you were talking just to hear yourself when you copy-pasted your first post into a second one. But I still have to know: I'm at a loss to understand why any of that is relevant to her starting a racing team or why we should care that you seem to think all of that crap; so perhaps you could explain it to us?

Because I'm honestly not seeing the problem, as I'm pretty sure celebrities have financial planners who would advise against pouring money into the pit that auto racing tends to be unless you had a solid plan for success.

Well, what can I say other than I like her tweets.

Ontopic, what is wrong with someone putting his or her money in Motorsport, more money is always good.

Some people get upset because it's a woman.

hawkeye122 · Mar 16 2012, 10:27 PM #54

Alright, you got me on that side.

But still, how many wins have BMW and Ferrari had in that time? If i was going to go GT racing, I wouldnt pick the Vantage. That's all I'm saying.

It's not because she's a woman. It's because she's Pamela Anderson. I wonder how long it will be before she loses interest.

I don't see why it's any more "laughable" than a disinterested toothpaste manufacturer or caffeinated soft drink company deciding that they can make some money by sponsoring an open wheel race team.

It's not that she's a woman, or that she's Pamela Anderson: It's more that people think because she's a big chested sex icon who made most of her fame and fortune using her body she shouldn't be allowed to venture into other areas without ridicule. Which brings me to the main point:

I wonder how long it will be before she loses interest.

I'd imagine she'd stay interested as long as her money is still wrapped up in it.

After all, as famous as she is, it's not like she's raking in a lot of cash elsewhere at the moment. Bay Watch DVD royalties and sporadic appearances on international versions of "Dancing with the Stars" probably don't do much to support a Hollywood lifestyle.

(...all of that said, it is still a bit funny
