Homologation practices were introduced to racing series worldwide to ensure fair competition based on driving skills rather than engineering prowess. The Aston Martin Valkyrie – AMR Pro stands out as a testament to what can be achieved when homologation standards are lifted. With a 6.5-liter V-12 engine producing 1000 horsepower and Formula 1-derived technology, the AMR Pro is a purebred racecar designed by Adrian Newey. APEX Motor Club member Ian James described driving the Valkyrie as “epic” and highlighted its incredible speed capabilities compared to GT cars. Aston Martin and the Heart of Racing team are planning for a Valkyrie version to race in WEC and IMSA in 2025, marking a historic moment for road-based cars in the Hypercar class. The APEX Circuit serves as a key testing ground for professional racing teams like the Heart of Racing, offering a platform for development and competition. For those interested in participating in the APEX Challenge season starting in October, email the club for more information.
