Aston Martin is embarking on an exciting new chapter in its renowned racing history with the unveiling of the Valkyrie hypercar. This pure racing machine, derived from its road-legal counterpart, marks the brand's return to the pinnacle of endurance motorsport and aims for overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The Valkyrie hypercar will compete at 24 Hours of Le Mans in the FIA World Endurance Championship and in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, where it will race in the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The Aston Martin is also the first car to compete in both racing series, which speaks to Aston’s competitive ambitions.

In the year that will mark six decades since Dan Gurney and AJ Foyt won the race in a GT40 Mk. IV, Ford is headed back to the world's greatest sports car race. Not just with a GT car, but with an LMDh-spec prototype, competing in the top class for the overall win.
