Aston Martin has lifted the covers of its tickets for the WEC and IMSA championships this coming season.
The Silverstone team again held its own in energy racing, but also added sports car racing to its repertoire as its task expanded beyond Formula 1.
Returning to the WEC for the first time since 2021, Aston Martin has unveiled its 2025 Challenger, the Valkyrie AMR-LMH.
The car, whose original designer Adrian Newey, has a 6. 5-litre V12 engine and Aston hopes it can win the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time since 1959.
Spectators at the iconic French race will see the familiar green British green car that will be driven through Marco Sørensen, Tom Gamble, Alex Riberas and Harry Tinnknell for the WEC season.
The WEC Challenger has finished 15,000km of testing and is the competitor derived from a legal hypercar.
Aston will also compete in the IMSA Weathertech sports championship in 2025 and, for this reason, it will be a dark blue with yellow in the accents.
This will be hosted by Ross Gunn and Roman de Angelis.

Adrian Hallmark, Chief Executive Officer of Aston Martin Lagonda, said: “This is a proud moment for Aston Martin. Returning to the fight for global honours at the 24 Hours of Le Mans is at the heart of our values and our values and marks a key milestone in our racing heritage.
“As the only hypercar born off-road to challenge in the most sensible sports car racing in the WEC and IMSA, the Valkyrie embodies our enduring sporting spirit, which has explained the logo for more than a century. “
Adam Carter, Aston Martin’s head of motorsport, said: “The Aston Martin Valkyrie is just a hypercar; It is a revolution in the history of automotive engineering that represents the pinnacle of performance, design and innovation.
“With an ordinary fusion of the F1 generation and road car dominance, Valkyrie is built for racing and its entry into the pinnacle of global staying power racing will only be its technological success.
“By adhering to hypercar regulations, the race car stores many facets of DNA with the road car, with the same V12 power unit at its heart. “
