Correction:
The team name Comtoyou is pronounced incorrectly in the video. It’s pronounced, Come-to-you. This was my first time pronouncing this team name in a video and when I double checked the pronunciation beforehand, coincidently both my sources were incorrect. Apologies for the mistake, for any future videos on Team Comtoyou, I will pronounce the name correctly.
You always do a great job young man.
@@FormulaJonah My comment was not at all negative! You make great videos! Keep them coming! 😁
Thank you @fathertimegaming !
@LucaTgaard I appreciate you letting me know about the pronunciation in your comment, much thanks! Also, big thank you for your support. Means a lot!
I bet driving WEC with Aston after his F1 contract expires just got a whole lot more attractive for Fernando Alonso!
You know what? I am not sure of that.... he already has a WEC championship, with Toyota. That includes the LeMans win.
Maybe he wants another, but...I would think that completing the Triple Crown would have more worth to the man, especially considering the embarrassing Indy 500 run (he got bumped, he didn't even get into the race).
@@DuvJones I think he pretty much plans to do Indy 500, try win it one more time at least. if he would complete the triple crown, would make his legacy perfect.
I am not so sure about that. This car is developed by AMR and Prodrive. The Valkyrie will be developed by the F1 division who is ass in F1 RN and Multimatic.
Idk, I don't anticipate their hypercar to be anywhere in LMH and I don't think Chadlonso is going to go to GT3.
That being said, AM's GT3 program often times finds themselves in the right spot to pick up wins when others fumble, although I haven't seen them have much raw pace in WEC or IMSA even though over a season, AM teams to run reasonably well
As a Ferrari fan, it was heartbreaking. I was looking forward to celebrating another #51 centenary win. Motorsport can be cruel.
we will come back next yr and win it. if it was a unfortunate safety car i wud be like ok it happens, but the manner it was lost was so sad.
I'm a Porsche fan and was more in favor of Aston winning in the end since they've been waiting for it for ages now. But I'm not gonna lie: The way they won it wasn't easy to watch. Pace and strategy wise, this was Ferrari's race to win no doubt. But unlike Le Mans luck wasn't on your side...
I was at the race, on the grandstand before the dip towards Eau Rouge watching the screen. I was ok with Ferrari winning, they absolutely earned that and it was heartbreaking to watch that happen in the pits. However this means so much to Aston Martin and comtoyou Racing being a Belgian team too, I held back tears when I saw them cross the finish line. Whoever loves racing has to see Spa in the middle of the night, I was at Bruxelles at midnight as lightning lit the sky, the rain came down, the sound of distant beer gardens partying while the lights of race cars illuminated the tall pines of the Ardennes and the spray illuminated by the red flashing light on the back of the cars. It was a moment in my life I will never forget and racing in north america needs to work on getting the magic and mystique that european 24 hour races have.
Winning Le Mans, Spa and The Nurburgring is just incredible! Not sure we will see that again for a long time
Earl Bamber did it as well: Spa 2020, Le Mans 2015 & 2017, Nürburgring 2023 and unlike Nicki he has won Le Mans overall.
Laurens Vanthoor is another driver with at least a class win at each event: Spa overall 2014 and 2020, Nürburgring overall in 2015 and Le Mans GTE Pro class-win in 2018.
It happens but it's definitely a rarety that's for sure.
The only combination that has never been achieved in endurance racing (as far as I know) is an overall win at the 24h of Spa, Le Mans, Nürburgring and Daytona.
@@lucvincentmetz8144 wow, amazing insight. I never knew some of this stuff. Thanks
51 was so fast... and Pier Guidi is a demon. I still think it's a nit underrated as a driver, you always heard about Estre, Marciello etc. But Alessandro is so fast and aggressive... and he often beat those other pro
There is a rumors on the internet about Hyundai joining IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship as a GTP/Hypercar class
its not a rumor 100% fact
I'm near 100% certain that Nicki Thiim is going to be in one of the WEC Valkyrie AMR-LMH entries next year.
Denmark really has had a thing with 24h events this year
1:26 the most sane looking Danish person
how aston martin won the centenary 24 hours of spa?
lamborghini happened
007 perfect number, British racing green perfect colour, the drivers looking like background Bond villains. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
As an Aston Martin fan the last two races at were a joy to watch, both Heart of raceing and Cometoyou did a grat job, and im realy happy for them. I cant wait to see the Valkyrie next year.
I really love your videos from all the way in Jamaica keep up the good work
Excellent round up..many thanks! Subscribed for more🇬🇧
Awesome to hear that, thank you!
I hope to see Nicky and Marco in Hypercar for aston soon. Both had deliveried good resualts this season in GT racing hope they can keep it up
At the end of the day, if drama like what happened with the #51 Ferrari occurs, you still need the pace to capitulize on it. That's racing.
What makes this, and for that matter the entire podium, extra special is that it's a Belgian 1-3 with a personal link. Seeing a Belgian team win overall on home soil on the big 100th anniversary of the event barely 2 days before my 24th birthday is absolutly fantastic! Adding the #32 WRT BMW on the podium, a team i found out is a customer at my workplace for parts, just... I can't be more proud as a Belgian to see this happen!
Here's to another 100 years for us to enjoy this iconic race!
Watched Aston win at LeMans in 2017 coming form Australia and planning to see them run hypercar at Fuji next year, cool team, they dont have the wins of Ferrari or Porsche but we love them still
I’ve been an Aston fan for a couple years now and had high hopes for them this year with the new car but I never expected to see this given the car’s pace in the first half of the year. Was an insane drive
Com to you team made me have a flashback to Wtcc era
It was a great event (as was the LM24). A-M deserved an outright win like this after many years of trying hard.
Why anyone was remotely interested in the Vercrashen-Norris hand bagging last weekend beats me.
congrats to AM, they raced hard and had good luck when it mattered. ferrari had the bad luck, but it was a great race despite the time lost to heavy rain under safety car.
(at least it wasn't red flagged until morning )
It was marco sorensen who won at le mans in 2022. He also won at Daytona in 2023
Good catch! I think I had the wrong info at the time as Tiim’s last win was in 2014!
Next year Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar
its pronounced ''come to you''
My soul hurt just a little every time
And now Nicki Thiim needs to win the Rolex 24 at Daytona in class
With the Aston Martin Hypercar?
All he needs to do now is win the 24hrs of Daytona
Does Spa do something now to widen the pit entrance? It was always an accident waiting to happen there and now the Devil has come to collect his due. It looks like there is a cliff or embankment to the outside, so adding more space there be impossible. They need to widen the inside section which would take away some of the run off coming off the chicane. So it is possible that whole section of race track may need to be reconfigured.
I wouldn't say removing some of the runoff on the exit of the chicane to increase the width of the pit entry would need the whole final section to be fully reconfigured. That runoff on the exit of the chicane is pretty useless especially given the fact the cars are going quite slowly off the exit of the chicane, so I do think they could just increase the width of the pit entry with no change of the layout.
The only problem is if someone loses control and cuts the chicane at high speed over the grass but in that scenario having like 2m more tarmac before the tyre barrier isn't really going to change the outcome of the crash so I don't think it would actually be any less safe with a smaller runoff on the exit of the chicane
I rooted for aston in this race but i was late for the final lap so i thought mercedes won😂
No, yes
Gotta love Lamborghini flipping yet another bird at Ferrari lol
Aston surely was really strong but they won thanks to the bad luck of Ferrari

Blah, the Ferrari got hosed bad... If the Lamborghini had moved all the way left like they should have, they wouldn't have blocked the pit enter completely like that. And the Lamborghini did it the exact same thing the stop before. But, Aston Martin did nothing wrong, and the driver of the Ferrari said he had enough gas to drive another lap, if the pits had told him the Lamborghini was blocking the pits.
It was a wild and crazy race at Spa with the weather and seeing Aston Martin come through for the victory was a real surprise. Enjoyable to watch, probably except for the periods in the middle of the night when the rain really got heavy and obviously, the safety car was deployed for extended periods of time. I always enjoy watching the 24 Hours of Spa every year. It was fun to see a lot of the historic cars on track for support races for the centenary, too. So, the GT1 era cars and even going back into the touring car era of the '70s and '80s with the Ford Capri's, BMW 3.0 CSL's and 635's, and other great machinery that raced around Spa long before it became a GT race which really saved it's legacy after 1999 and 2000 and the races being won by, of all things, a diesel-powered Peugeot 306 hatchback economy car!
Not gonna lie, I was kinda happy when that Ferrari got blocked in the pit. Congrats Aston
Ferrari completely deserved that victory and I don't believe anyone should have such a prestigious win taken away from them in such a horrible way.
what a miserable human being you must be
Karma for Pier Guidi for spinning the #8 Toyota's Hartley at Le Mans.
Oh man, I wasn't able to watch yet. And I am usually not able to watch IMSA before you make the video, so you spoiled like 4 or 5 races just this season. I watch your channel quite often, but sorry, I have to click the unrecommend button.
How exactly does more than 4-5 videos have spoilers? I get this video because of the title, however this is a channel that includes news reports. But there are no other videos like this that have spoilers on the front page…
@@reflector0157 There is how Porsche won Daytona, Acura wins Sebring or Long Beach review with Cadillac crossing the finish line. I don't why he would do that.
@@reflector0157 and this one pisses me off, as I somehow finally managed to avoid all motorsport media reports from Spa
