Aston Martin to enter Hypercar and IMSA GTP with Valkyrie in 2025
Aston Martin, the British car manufacturer, will be participating in both the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) with their endurance racing partner, The Heart of Racing. This will potentially be the first time an LMH-rules car enters IMSA. Aston Martin Chairman, Lawrence Stroll, emphasized the importance of performance in their brand and how motorsport showcases their pursuit of excellence. This return to Le Mans, where they have previously achieved great success, aims to create new history with a racing prototype inspired by their fastest production car. The programme will be based at Aston Martin’s new Technology Campus, alongside the Aston Martin F1 team, and the car will be powered by a naturally-aspirated V12 engine without a hybrid component, unlike many of its competitors in both series.
