For the first time, all three Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercars will compete concurrently this weekend, tackling the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) at Spa-Francorchamps and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at Laguna Seca. This marks a historic milestone for the Valkyrie, the only hypercar racing in both premier global sportscar series in 2025.
Across the Atlantic, the #23 Valkyrie, driven by Ross Gunn and Roman De Angelis, aims to extend its 100% points-scoring streak in IMSA at Laguna Seca on 11 May. Following a ninth-place debut at Sebring and eighth at Long Beach, the team targets another top-ten finish on the demanding 2.2-mile Monterey circuit, known for its tricky Corkscrew and blind apexes.
As the first Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) derived from a road-legal vehicle, the Valkyrie is unique in IMSA’s GTP class and the only LMH car competing in both WEC and IMSA. Powered by a race-tuned 6.5-litre V12 engine, limited to 680bhp per hypercar regulations, the Valkyrie blends cutting-edge technology with Aston Martin’s racing heritage, echoing its 1959 Le Mans victory.
This weekend’s dual-continent effort underscores Aston Martin’s bold commitment to global motorsport dominance with its groundbreaking hypercar.

In Belgium, the Aston Martin THOR Team fields two Valkyries in the TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa on 10 May. The #007 car, driven by British duo Harry Tincknell and Tom Gamble, and the #009, piloted by three-time WEC GT champion Marco Sørensen and Alex Riberas, will face Spa’s high-speed challenge as a critical test before the 24 Hours of Le Mans next month. The team builds on a solid double-finish at Imola, where both cars placed 17th and 18th.Across the Atlantic, the #23 Valkyrie, driven by Ross Gunn and Roman De Angelis, aims to extend its 100% points-scoring streak in IMSA at Laguna Seca on 11 May.
