The Aston Martin Valkyrie V12 made quite an impression during the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship Prologue in Qatar. This event marked the debut of the Valkyrie in the Hypercar category, and it did not disappoint.
The Valkyrie, with its naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine, roared to life, showcasing its incredible power and engineering prowess. The sound of the engine alone was enough to captivate the audience, and the car’s performance on the track was equally impressive. The Prologue event, held at the Losail International Circuit, provided a perfect backdrop for the Valkyrie’s first official outing.
Aston Martin’s THOR Team, which is fielding the Valkyrie in the WEC, has high hopes for the car’s performance this season. The team has enlisted experienced drivers like Alex Riberas and Harry Tincknell to pilot the Valkyrie, and they have been instrumental in the car’s development and testing.
The Prologue event also served as a testing ground for the teams to fine-tune their cars and strategies ahead of the season opener. The Valkyrie’s performance during the Prologue has set high expectations for its debut race at the Qatar 1812km on February 28, 2025.
