A bonus post for your Friday evening, via Pescara Productions. This is the new Aston Martin Valkyrie Hypercar testing at the Donington Park circuit in the midlands of England. Listen to, and savor, the howling shriek of a 6.5 liter naturally aspirated V12 engine with no hybrid unit. Could this be the ultimate Le Mans Hypercar, when it makes its much anticipated debut, next year?
A first look at the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH! Nice to see Lazarus itself in person. This car makes an unreal noise, particularly on the downshifts where it sounds a bit like an incoming thunderstorm! And if this was merely a shakedown, it wasn't exactly hanging about either. I do apologise that this is not award winning footage but its the best you've got so far and I wanted to leave a lot of the dead air in just so you can hear it go round this place. Originally had no plan to be at Donington as the exclusive test day at some point in the week became a private one which I didn't know about, but a few miles away this could be heard and so enticed a look down the public footpath that this place backs on to and conveniently also runs right past the circuit! Was not expecting to find a Le Mans Hypercar at Donington Park, and was not expecting it to be the Cosworth V12 powered Valkyrie that was at one time a scrapped project and looked to never be happening. Awesome to see this car and awesome to see it at Donington, which furthers my desire to see the WEC round here and not at Silverstone. But you can argue about that in the comments. It never seemed to have any issues and did a number of half hour stints on what was a very hot day. And yeah there's an ugly watermark in the middle cos I know what you thieving lot can be like! It's my ass on the line putting this content out i'm afraid...
