The Valkyrie is set to make its much-anticipated debut at the World Endurance Championship opener on February 28, 2025, in Qatar. Shortly after, it will compete at the 12 Hours of Sebring in Florida, marking its first race in the IMSA SportsCar Championship. This makes it the only Hypercar Class competitor racing in both major series next year.
The Valkyrie's participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most eagerly awaited event. It's Aston Martin's first serious attempt to clinch a win since its 1959 victory with the DBR1. Equipped with a 6.5-liter Cosworth V12, the Valkyrie is expected to deliver stellar performances across all tracks.
Racing under the iconic '007' and '009' numbers, the Valkyrie will face formidable opponents like Ferrari's 499P, BMW's M Hybrid V8, and prototypes from Alpine, Cadillac, Peugeot, Porsche, and Toyota. Notably absent from the lineup is Lamborghini, which has chosen to focus on IMSA by skipping the WEC season.
In 2025, Aston Martin's Valkyrie will make history by competing in both the World Endurance Championship and IMSA SportsCar Championship. The flagship event, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, offers Aston Martin a chance for a historic win. With high-profile competitors, the Valkyrie's debut promises to capture the imagination of enthusiasts. Are you ready to witness history?
