Aston Martin is coming back to the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year and hoping to win the event outright for the first time in more than 65 years. To achieve that lofty goal, it will race a V-12-powered hypercar based on its Valkyrie.

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.

New Aston Martin driver Tom Gamble has described signing for the British marque to race the new Valkyrie in the World Endurance Championship as a “pinch yourself moment”. The 2018 McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year revealed racing for a manufacturer in the top class of the WEC had become his aspiration after switching to sportscar racing in 2019 with a campaign in the GT World Challenge Europe.
