The upcoming IMSA official test at Daytona International Speedway is highly anticipated due to several reasons. It will be the first time GTD cars featuring torque sensors for the 2025 WeatherTech Championship will be present, and Aston Martin’s Valkyrie AMR-LMH will make its IMSA-sanctioned debut as well. Aston Martin’s endurance motorsport head, Adam Carter, shared insights on the car’s positive development and confirmed the participation of Aston Martin and Heart of Racing with a single car at the Florida event. With significant testing mileage completed, the team is gearing up for challenges in the competitive environment and setting ambitious targets in preparation for IMSA and FIA WEC competitions. The process of homologating the Valkyrie AMR-LMH remains on track, with plans in place for a global race debut that is yet to be officially determined between the Rolex 24 At Daytona or the FIA WEC season opener in Qatar. Regulary revisiting the plan and making informed decisions at the right time are key aspects highlighted by Carter for the forthcoming racing endeavors.
