Aston Martin to Race Two Cygnets at Bridgestone Eco-Rally

A pair of Cygnet minis will be representing Aston Martin at the fifth annual Bridgestone Eco-Rally that takes place in London this weekend. This is the first time that the British marque participates at the event, which will pass from the heart of Oxford to central London.

Aston Martin's Toyota-based 55.6mpg (UK) minis will be driven by racing regular, Darren Turner and David King, Aston Martin’s Director of Special Projects and Motorsport.

“I’m looking forward to demonstrating Cygnet on the Bridgestone Eco-Rally, maybe it’s my one and only chance to beat Darren Turner!" said King.

Turner, on the other hand, said he was looking forward to trying out the Cygnet: “I have been a fan of Cygnet from the start. It’s a great city car, easy to manoeuvreand park and a lot of fun to drive.”
