Aston Martin is ramping up its efforts, having completed six days of proper testing after an initial shakedown
Aston Martin’s new Valkyrie World Endurance Championship and IMSA SportsCar Championship contender has already notched up more than 6000km in testing since hitting the track last month. The Le Mans Hypercar developed by the British manufacturer out of the Adrian Newey-inspired Valkyrie road car has racked up that distance, equivalent to 3700 miles, over the course of six days of testing on home ground in the UK and then in mainland Europe.
Carter revealed that Aston and the HoR team are looking beyond Aston Martin’s existing pool of GT drivers, which includes two-time GTE Pro WEC title winners Nicki Thiim and Marco Sorensen. “Through the initial testing phase we will be leaning on the Aston Martin Racing roster to support us and we have started to have look at a few drivers from elsewhere as well,” he said.
