- Aston Martin is returning to top-level prototype racing with its Valkyrie Hypercar, which will be racing in the FIA WEC and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship starting in 2025! This will mark Aston Martin's first time competing for the overall win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2011.
Powered by a naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 and run by The Heart of Racing, the Valkyrie is sure to be a crowd favorite in both championships.

What are you most looking forward to with Aston Martin’s return?
Nicki Thiim in a Hypercar
A V12 back at Le Mans
Motorsport has been revived
*Stares motherfuckingly to Audi*
I think this is a big brain move by Lawrence stroll to get Lance out of f1 without firing him
Wouldnt want that fraud in wec either.
Would be harsh if a father fires his own son...
A million F1 fans just learned Sports Cars exist
Yeah, actually. I will be blunt, the sportscar world is having a moment this year and the party only keeps getting bigger.
Imagine if the Solus GT and Bolide take a similar path.
I could see McLaren possibly joining hypercar but Bugatti probably won’t touch Motorsport for the rest of my lifetime lol
Mclaren bringing back the judd v10
Neither cars would really be good enough to compete, without significant changes.
How significant?
@@MJY5drives Chassis would need to be changed to prototype to be competitive, it would also need to be safety compliant, this would fundamentally impact the design, the engine specifications would need some alternations to be able to handle the stresses of an endurace race and be BOP compliant. Then there's the suspension and aero and the rest of the power train that would need to see significant alterations to be compliant. Feasible but what would come out would ultimately end up looking significantly different from what you see currently.
The only reason the Valkyrie will look anything remotely similar to how it currently looks is because it was already engineered from the start to be compliant with LMH regulations on a fundamental level.
McLaren Will build LMDH
The SportsCar world is FANTASTIC!
What an era we are living in
The End 🎉❤
I'm looking forward to the next episode of the Rain Race podcast! What great news this is, huh!
They could pump up the hype by putting an un-detuned "stock" motor in it, take it to Nürburgring ala Porsche 919 Evo (call it the Valkyrie Prevo?) and see if they can break the lap record.
It is going to be interesting seeing they are running normally aspirated cars and also, not going hybrid. Very different from all of the major manufacturers.
As we seen so far, non-hybrid cars were far behind than its Hybrid competitors, as you can already see Glickenhaus' and Vanwall's performance when compared to them, but we'll see how it goes with Aston rocking with its non-hybrid N/A V12's...
@@v12ts.gaming Glickenhaus didn't have the development budget and was running on a shoestring budget, and Colin Kolles is a fraud.
@@Dexter037S4 That is reasonable...
I am at that stage of life where I MIGHT get to see it un in '25.
this awesome season isn't even over yet and already am I excited for the future
Cannot wait to see and hear this thing on track! The variety of sounds all of the LMDh/Hypercars are creating is going to be quite the symphony!
Didnt they get the rules changed to enter then just to quit? Now they are back...
Well… yes. But I’ll forgive them on the grounds that they decided to show up eventually!
It was a matter of that and timing. By the time the LMH rules solidified, Aston wasn't doing so hot on the ledger. Given that the company was pushed to the point of keeping the lights on, with the F1 program on the books and expanding, the Valkyrie program was sacrificed (it was going to need to be returned to the LMH spec regardless, which would not come cheep) which is ironic because they pushed on with the road car.
@@guybeingaguy No it's not. That's a personal relationship and business decisions aren't personal. Ultimately Aston ran out of money and had to sell up again, the guy who bought them didn't think it was sustainable and opted not to bring them back until now. That's kinda just how business is, you're taking too personal which is fine as a fan but ultimately it has no bearing on business.
@@DuvJones I hope whatever they learned in F1 comes good in LMH because if not, it's gonna be a slow and long season come 2025.
Good by F1 bernie killed group c but F1 will kill this sport because it’s going to get to big like group c was for F1. Mark my words
Ehhh, I don't know about that. Group C was quite close with F1 in performance, LMH isn't even F2 level. 🤷
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks it’s not about performance is about the popularity and crowds it’s brings
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks but yet again when you say performance is like to see a F2 or F1 going for 24 hrs
@@Kierenstanden-qz7eu Because the Group C era wasn't just close with F1 in terms of popularity, honestly I think at the height of its popularity, it drew more crowds but the performance was also on par with F1.
The racing wasn't just legendary, the cars were genuinely legendary, like real weapons, they would shake the ground and your body on approach, even before you saw them and it felt like watching jets flybys on the straights. For me that's a big deal separating LMH from the Group C era. LMH still great but the performance isn't quite up there for me. I mean maybe that changes over time but right now, I don't know.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks imagine if we could get a entire feild of LMH
C'mon Mercedes!
Am ok with it coz it's Gabey that is behind this. Much more reliable value than Stroll.
I am not counting on Alonzo leaving F1 that early, he literally left Alpine coz they were planning to put him on their LMDh in 2024.
It's not that Gabe...
@@DuvJones It's Gabe Newell my friend, check it out :)
@@cabrelbeuk72
Ok so this is not Gabe Logan Newell, aka Gaben.
This is someone else by the name of Gabe Newell.
@@DuvJones Bro please google and wikipedia are not so complicated to use. It's him, he is the one who is financing Heart of Racing, and it's Heart of Racing that made this possible.
