Aston Martin Aims for Victory at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025
In an exciting announcement, Aston Martin has revealed its plans to compete for overall victory at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans starting in 2025. The British luxury sportscar manufacturer will enter the hypercar category of the FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA sportscar championship with at least one Valkyrie hypercar prototype.
Aston Martin’s endurance racing efforts will be supported by their partner, Heart of Racing. Their collaboration will see the Valkyrie hypercar backed by the team, allowing Aston Martin to deepen its connection with their customers and the racing community.
Designed by Red Bull’s renowned engineer Adrian Newey, the Valkyrie hypercar is a street-legal version of a Formula One car. This limited edition vehicle has already gained immense popularity among car enthusiasts, with delivery of the remaining Valkyrie cars scheduled for next year.
Heart of Racing will play a crucial role in funding Aston Martin’s endeavor in endurance racing. Their substantial support will ensure the team has the necessary resources to compete at the highest level.
Aston Martin is not a stranger to Le Mans success, as Formula One driver Fernando Alonso, who races for Aston Martin, has claimed victory at the iconic event twice. With his experience and expertise, Alonso will provide invaluable insights and guidance to the team as they strive for glory.
In addition to their endurance racing plans, Aston Martin has also announced the launch of new GT3 and GT4 cars in early 2022. These highly anticipated models will further expand Aston Martin’s presence in the motorsports world and showcase the brand’s commitment to high-performance racing.
The news of Aston Martin’s ambitious racing endeavors comes hand in hand with an exciting development within the company. Lawrence Stroll, executive chairman of Aston Martin, expressed his confidence in the company’s future growth and value by mentioning the opportunity to purchase additional shares. This further highlights the belief of Aston Martin’s leadership in the brand’s potential and its commitment to providing thrilling experiences to car enthusiasts worldwide.
As Aston Martin prepares to conquer the endurance racing scene, fans and critics alike eagerly await the sight of their iconic cars racing across the legendary track at Le Mans. The year 2025 promises to be a thrilling chapter in Aston Martin’s history as they aim to achieve glory on the world’s most challenging racing stage.
