Will Aston Martin be able to hold its own at the 6 Hours of Spa?
After a clear improvement since the beginning of the season, can the Valkyrie hope for something in Belgium?
A hypercar that finds rhythm and performance race after race. Between IMSA and WEC, the Aston Martin can benefit from significant track time to find solutions. This can allow the drivers and the team to better understand the car.
After a very difficult race in Qatar, cars #007 and #009 have caught up with the competition in Italy. Even if the pure performance is still quite far from the leading forces, it must be admitted, the British V12 is increasingly roaring in the competitors’ eardrums.
In IMSA, Aston Martin managed to finish ahead of a Porsche 963, which is usually at ease on the other side of the Atlantic, during the Long Beach round. Two Acuras were positioned behind the car run by The Heart of Racing.
For their sixth official meeting, the Valkyrie drivers will need to confirm the progression of this car. They will have an advantage, however. During the month of April, private tests were organized on this track located in the Ardennes. However, the run was not very long, as the Hypercar went off track.
At the same time as the 6 Hours of Spa, Aston Martin will also be at Laguna Seca for the IMSA. A double program to collect twice as much data.
