Heart of Racing, a racing team, is set to make its debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2024. They will compete with a single-car LMGT3 effort using a 2024-spec Aston Martin Vantage, with drivers Ian James, Daniel Mancinelli, and Alex Riberas. The team will race as No. 27 in the WEC while also continuing their commitments in the IMSA GTD Pro and GTD series. Additionally, they will be focusing on the testing and development of the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH Hypercar for future WEC and IMSA seasons. For the 2023 season, Heart of Racing took over the preexisting Northwest AMR GTE Am entry after the withdrawal of Paul Dalla Lana. James, the team principal and driver, will compete in all eight WEC events in 2024, alongside his duties in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Riberas will also participate in both championships, with the WEC being the priority. For conflicting events, Mario Farnbacher will substitute for Riberas, joining Ross Gunn in the team’s GTD PRO entry.
