Aston Martin is going back to Le Mans. And it wants outright victory in 2021. New rules will replace the current LMP1 prototypes with race-modified roadgoing hypercars that will be the new top class of endurance racing. And, in the Valkyrie, Aston Martin will have one of the fastest hypercars. It"s likely we"ll see the Valkyrie up against entries from McLaren and Ferrari. Those three manufacturers were in the vanguard of lobbying for the new rules, according to race organisers the ACO. Top Gear asked Andy Palmer, Aston"s boss, how much the team would have to soup-up the Valkyrie AMR Pro to get the required speed. Turns out the opposite.
