Aston Martin confirm Hypercar project
Aston Martin has announced that it will participate in the 2025 World Endurance Championship and WeatherTech SportsCar Championships with the Valkyrie LMH project. After competing in the GT categories of the WEC for several years, the British manufacturer will now enter the highest level of sportscar racing with a Hypercar that will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Designed by Red Bull’s Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey, the Valkyrie also has a road-car version. The project will be supported by Aston Martin’s championship-winning endurance racing partner Heart of Racing. Aston Martin Chairman Lawrence Stroll stated, “Performance is the essence of everything we do at Aston Martin, and motorsport is the ultimate expression of our pursuit of excellence.” He added, “We have had a presence at Le Mans since the early days, and now we aim to create new history with a racing prototype inspired by the fastest production car Aston Martin has ever built.”
