The Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH is scheduled to undergo track testing in the coming weeks, in preparation for its anticipated racing debut at the 2025 Rolex 24 At Daytona. Adam Carter, Aston Martin’s head of endurance motorsport, affirmed that the test program is proceeding as planned and has been focused primarily on the mule car. Testing of the LMH car is set to commence by the end of the second quarter of 2024, with a shakedown in June followed by continued track testing in July. The car will undergo testing in the USA ahead of its racing debut, as part of the partnership with Heart of Racing and Multimatic. While details about the testing schedule remain undisclosed, the aim is to cover at least 12-15 thousand kilometers of track running before the IMSA Daytona BoP test at the end of the year. Heart of Racing’s involvement in both GTD and GTP racing in the USA is still under discussion as the program evolves. The two-car mandate for Hypercar manufacturers in the upcoming season is also a topic of consideration in the ongoing conversations.
