@@Sunedosa a classic case of over promising and under delivering. It’s fucking rapid still, but they were saying this would be faster than lmp1, which is just can’t be
@@Sunedosa To be perfectly fair, Aston never claimed this, and on the right track, it probably won't be far off. This is Silverstone, one of the F1'est F1 tracks out there lol But in the end, they're two completely different beasts, and I think the fact that it can even get this close is amazing, especially when you factor in what it actually takes to start and maintain an F1 car. No laptop, no engine change every 1,200 km, has its own starter, can be taken to nearly any track, doesn't take a pit crew, carries a passenger.
When people think all you need is a fast car to go fast... the skills, reaction time, and the physical fitness... all on a whole another level. Dude was hitting 180+ mph and this was slow for him.
The top speed was on par with an F1 car on race fuel, but the braking force and cornering force, that's not quite there. WEC rubber and a lot heavier, what can we expect? It would get a bit silly with qualifying rubber and per F2/F1 wheels if they can be made to fit.
Maybe its because Aston Martin claimed this thing would lap faster (lmao) than an F1 car… funny thing is how lots of people (who probably dont know much about cars) actually believed them..😂😂😂
@@PerSon-xg3zr What do you mean by "Modern F1"? What year are you talking about? 2020 F1 cars broke every track record out there... do you not consider them modern? No matter how regulations tend to nerf the cars, history repeats itself every time. Engineering and perfection leads to even faster cars than before. They said this years cars were going to be 5 secs slower. They ended up being 1-1.5 seconds slower. In 2-3 years they'll be faster again... modern F1 cars are an engineering marvel. Smaller engines, heavier, larger and yet they manage to be faster.
I love how he just chuckles when the question of what it’s like compared to an F1 car comes up. I don’t think it’s possible to appreciate what a modern F1 car is like.
2.5G lateral and 3G braking is impressive, but F1 is double those numbers for comparison. The best part of this video is Nico. His candid nature on its performance and the fact you got to ride with him for a 10/10’s go is amazing. Great video!
These aren't fresh qualifying tires, there's an extra passenger, and I'm pretty sure the car isn't in low fuel mode. FYI, in race trim 2014-15 F1 and LMP1 cars were going thru Copse at around the same speeds in race trim. In full quali trim, the Valkyrie pro should be lapping faster than the current Le Mans prototypes.
@@DonLee1980 the AMR Pro is slower than LMP1. Quite a bit slower in fact. Maybe similar speed to the handicapped hypercar prototypes. 2014/2015 F1 cars are amongst the slowest cornering F1 cars of the modern era (since like 2010 to now). There are LMP2 cars that run laptimes in this range

Thank You for the personalized experience in this thoroughbred James! Just amazing with Nico H. at the wheel! But You forgot the T-50 which revs even higher than this also Cosworth engine. Perhaps You should inquire with Dario F. or Gordon M. You must have heard it screaming around Goodwood. Cheers mate! :D
Big respect for Hulk and his honesty. He was short of saying the handling was understeer city, TC was intrusive and James is fat. 2 3 seconds more in the short variant of Silverstone is a lot. To be honest, that tells good things about the car. When you get a pro to direct you on the setup and saying how much faster it can go. Means it is a good track car.
My cheeks hurt from smiling just from watching the video and hearing that, it's amazing!! To be honest, soon after splitting from RB I thought AM won't be able to pull this and I turned my hopes to AMD One but now it turned vice versa, I'm soooo much impressed with AM, especially AMR Pro variant, and almost kind of dissapointed with AMG 1 :(

What an OUTSTANDING looking car. Simply mind blowing and yet still so far away from an F1. Impossible to begin to understand what abilities are required to pilot an F1 car. A truly great experience. Another brilliant video.
Probably one of the first cars I've watched on video and could tell that it was actually savage lol it looks like it could chew you up and spit you out in the blink of an eye lol 😆
Love how Nico operates the shift levers, getting ready a instant earlier and then click with the finger like a guitar player. The speed of F1 drivers is just insane, his reaction to the question comparing this to a F1 was so funny. Clearly thinking “this is not even close to a F1, but wait I need to be more political”😂

Otherwise, I highly doubt a GTE pro driver, super formula driver, or even an F2 driver could squeeze everything out of a machine like this.

My favorite moment 3:51 he reacted to it before we saw it happen on camera. Love when these moments are captured. The instinct these guys have are insane
Its just awesome how calm Nico is always. Just like when he drives a F!. Even a bad one. Change him with the "why we are not so fast as the other ones Hammilton" and he would be quick the first time. He is the most underrated driver in the field.
I think if ur sat in ur AMG one and that pulls up next to you ur going to be disappointed with your AMG with the dyson engine noise compared to that V12
I like the feature it has that when at full throttle the rear view monitor switches off because you don't need to see what's flying behind you ay 😂. That looked like a chaos ride must be a crazy feeling! Awesome video big Jim 🙌
That thing is insane, did the race suit come with a built in diaper 🤣 ... That on civilian streets is goin to be interesting to say the least, Aston Martin def out did themselves with that one.
@@davidmusil4145 well that is not even in the same League, the jesko attack is way closer in performance since it is 50kg lighter than the valkyrie and only got 300kg less downforce with 500 more hp and faster gearbox.
I wonder about that "Strong Cup of Tea"?! haha I'm not familiar with sport or race driving any more, but that Driver seemed like a most calm, cool, and collected person. Take Care!
Hulk driving this on cam showed me all I needed to know. Between every shift on even a mini-straight he is fiddling with stuff and tweaking stuff and not bothered. It's like - Cmon, get to the next shift point or the next braking zone or corner already! Very clearly driving the car at 9/10 for safety but at 5-6/10 of his actual ability.
Hulks reaction to the Brakes being like "Meh, yeah its pretty alright." really tells you on how much of a different plane of existence F1 cars are to everything else. 6:07
My god. The lap footage looks like it's been sped up 2-3x. But it hasn't. The car is just that nuts. I can't even think that fast. I'd be into a wall in seconds.
The G-Forces reminds me of race carts. I did 2,4-2,5g in the corners aswell. And braking aroung 2,7g with mojo medium slicks. This is mental especially with the V12 singing. What a machine!
@@Shadowboost I am aware the LMP1 class is gone as everyone left to go to the Hybrid class. However those cars are almost fast as the LMP1 cars so same difference.
Valkyrie is how I imagined the new LM hypercars would look like. It's just a stunning piece of a work still resembling a supercar, but taking it to a highest levels of prototype racing.
Normally it is hard to capture the speed of a vehicle on camera, but you can tell how violent and powerful this car is. Great video.

looool, exactly
What an experience! The Hulk was pushing! 💪🏼
Henry Catchpole in the back @6:00
Video with a cameo from Henry coming soon! 😄
Can Henry fit.... His a tall lad?! 😉
I like the feature it has that when at full throttle the rear view monitor switches off because you don't need to see what's flying behind you ay 😂. That looked like a chaos ride must be a crazy feeling! Awesome video big Jim 🙌
I hope you're joking. The video vanishing is due to mirror screen v-sync not matching camera shutter speed/frame rate.
That thing is insane, did the race suit come with a built in diaper 🤣 ... That on civilian streets is goin to be interesting to say the least, Aston Martin def out did themselves with that one.
Its not road legal but its younger brother is!
@@divinasi0n well the road legal car got a little dissapointing since now it weighs 1470kg
@@hugo-pg5tv still much better than the 1750kg AMG One
@@davidmusil4145 well that is not even in the same League, the jesko attack is way closer in performance since it is 50kg lighter than the valkyrie and only got 300kg less downforce with 500 more hp and faster gearbox.
@HENNESSEY 1 win doesn't make a brand idiot
I wonder about that "Strong Cup of Tea"?! haha I'm not familiar with sport or race driving any more, but that Driver seemed like a most calm, cool, and collected person. Take Care!
That was mind bending. And you KNOW Nico can get wring out the last tenths or so of performance that’s available. Incredible.
This car sounds so damn awesome!!
Nico HUUUUUUUULLLLKKKEENNNberrgggggg
I can hear Daniel screeming it 🤣
5:56 Dude gets out of the car absolutely giddy...
LMFAO 😊😅😂
its so nice to finally see this car being pushed. been waiting to see it for 2 years!
I’m Glad you enjoyed the engine I helped to build at Cosworth 🤜🏼
Nico has some serious skills, man!! That was next level driving!
Hulk driving this on cam showed me all I needed to know.
Between every shift on even a mini-straight he is fiddling with stuff and tweaking stuff and not bothered.
It's like - Cmon, get to the next shift point or the next braking zone or corner already!
Very clearly driving the car at 9/10 for safety but at 5-6/10 of his actual ability.
Apart from a few bits and bites that can be perfected... Man! That thing is RAW!!!
Tnx for the ride along, massiv...
Hulks reaction to the Brakes being like "Meh, yeah its pretty alright." really tells you on how much of a different plane of existence F1 cars are to everything else. 6:07
AWESOME!
So satisfying to hear, and see, a BEAST like this Valkyrie in the hands of a driver capable of driving it to its limit.
Bravo!
👏👏👏
My god. The lap footage looks like it's been sped up 2-3x. But it hasn't. The car is just that nuts. I can't even think that fast. I'd be into a wall in seconds.
I absolutely love this car! the design is phenomenal it’s such a raw race car on the track🔥⚡️💯🙌✅
The power in these upshifts, downshifts and the braking is insaneeee
Love this car, and I love that loud raw sound it produces even more! I would kill to have this car to take to the track every weekend.
No time to think! 10/10 right away! Amazing
Great driving by Hulk! This car is just pure madness....
Wow that was amazing..thanks for the incredible camera work..thought I was along for the ride too..👊
That car is f- incredible. New fav car from recent times!
i'm not even in the car physically and i nearly yelled out "JESUS CHRIST"🤣🤣🤣
Utterly insane work of art that machine is
Electrical motors versus combustion engines... At the very least, IF combustion engines go out, it will be with a bang. A very satisfying bang!
This car is amazing This experience was awesome, but the downshifts sounded violent, What a Car
The one finger paddle flick for the upshifts is priceless!
OH MY GOOOOD!! THAT WAS INSANE !!! Thank-you so much 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
You rarely find a RUclips starting with exactly that what we came here for. Great video!
The G-Forces reminds me of race carts. I did 2,4-2,5g in the corners aswell. And braking aroung 2,7g with mojo medium slicks.
This is mental especially with the V12 singing. What a machine!
Wow it sounds amazing like the older Porsche LMP1 race cars but as fast as a current LMP1 race car. So cool and amazing content James
There is no LMP1. it's a lot slower than LMP1, but about the same as a unrestricted LMP-H car
@@Shadowboost I am aware the LMP1 class is gone as everyone left to go to the Hybrid class. However those cars are almost fast as the LMP1 cars so same difference.
Valkyrie is how I imagined the new LM hypercars would look like. It's just a stunning piece of a work still resembling a supercar, but taking it to a highest levels of prototype racing.
As far as experiences go, laps of Silverstone, in the Valkyrie, with the Hulk behind the wheel has got to be a stand out.
It’s high on the high list of highly cool things 😂👍🏻
Saw this car in the flesh at silverstone a year ago - fantastic to see it out on track what a machine!
It was well worth the wait. Well done Aston Martin.
