During the years of the AMR1’s development, only five chassis were produced (only four surviving), and the successor projects were canceled. The designer left the project midway through the season, and with Aston’s parent company Ford also owning a stake in the more successful Jaguar, Aston’s endurance racing dreams were put back on hold.
Aston Martin’s best results with the car in the WSC were a fourth place finish at Brands Hatch, and an eleventh overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The English team had shown that they could compete in Group C, but not at the very top. Still, they managed to beat Toyota, a much more experienced manufacturer in the racing world, in the standings by the championship’s end, but inconclusive results prompted Ford’s decision to effectively cut the program off.
