NEW Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH TESTING at Donington Park - Pure V12 Sound!

  • 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...

    They were the product of the romance of the heyday of internal combustion engines, and I intended them to become a memory of the good times.
    So I am deeply moved by the fact that we will be able to see a new V12-engine car running on the circuit again.

      @9t14a3 I think the major issue with a lot of stuff at the top level is that the importance of keeping everyone happy and competitive is paramount. Manufacturers spend daft money to ne in F1 and still wind up 12th every week because the exposure is worth it. WEC doesn't have that level of exposure (in fact I think it actually sits behind WRC in terms of engagement figures) so teams aren't gonna sit around being crap for very long. However if WEC gets its arse in gear and makes some minor tweaks they can be there when F1 inevitably falls on its own sword. They've just got to absolutely play their hand correctly. And they've been dealt quite a good one

    • @9t14a3

      @@PescaraProductions When I saw the DRS in F1, I understood that adding artificial effects to the battle between drivers is ridiculous.
      As for the WEC, I don't fully support the BOP thing. If the advantages gained through extensive technological development are taken away by the regulations, each manufacturer will lose the motivation to actively develop.
      On the other hand, if there is no control over such regulations, the race will become a one-sided game for the teams with the most money.
      I think it is very difficult to balance the regulations to encourage teams to participate while also making it an exciting sport for spectators. This is because the power balance of the participating cars is constantly changing depending on the financial strength of the teams and internal political factors.
      This is the difficulty of motorsports being a sport where machines compete, and it is different from the majority of other sports where flesh and blood humans compete.
      In that sense, I sympathize with the difficulties of management. That is why I am very impressed that WEC is now becoming a very healthy and exciting motorsport.
      New manufacturers are participating one after another, and we can see fun races. I hope that the excessive race to develop doesn't lead to safety being neglected and the category itself not disappearing.
