Aston Martin Valkyrie to race at Le Mans in 2021

The Adrian Newey-designed Aston Martin Valkyrie is due to race at Le Mans under new regulations in 2021.

The regulations for the top level of the World Endurance Championship are due to change for the 2020/2021 season to allow manufacturers to race cars derived from road-going hypercars.

Aston Martin became the first manufacturer to commit to the new regulations shortly after they were announced ahead of this year's Le Mans 24 Hours race. Later in the same day, Toyota also confirmed its plans to continue at the top level of WEC with a new hypercar for both road and track that is currently under development in Cologne.
