00:00Welcome to the video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog on the topic of the Aston Martin Varee.
00:11As always, you can find the link to read the article in our magazine in the video description.
00:30In 2025, Aston Martin will enter the walkie into the LEM Endurance Races and the IMSA Series.
00:44However, the hypercar with its naturally aspirated two-cylinder engine will have to be throttled in order to participate in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
00:52While the road-legal version has 1,000 horsepower, the hypercar regulations limit it to 500 kilowatts or 680 horsepower.
01:05This shifts the focus from pure performance to reliability and fuel efficiency.
01:11Aston Martin relies on lean combustion to optimize fuel consumption.
01:15However, the 12-cylinder sound is retained, as according to Aston Martin the engine offers clear performance advantages and complements the aesthetic concept of the racing car.
01:29The walkie's engine is operated at a reduced speed in order to minimize friction losses and increase fuel efficiency.
01:36Further modifications are also required for racing.
01:39Safety regulations require a quickly removable body for rapid repairs, centralized rapid refueling, and an optimized cockpit for driver safety and visibility.
01:54In contrast to the road-legal version, which is equipped with 20-inch front wheels and 21-inch rear wheels, the racing version will run on 18-inch wheels.
02:03These are fitted with Michelin Pilot's sports tires, which are mandatory in the hypercar class.
02:12For Aston Martin, this is a significant step into endurance racing.
02:17According to Adam Carter, head of Endurance Motorsports, the aim is clear.
02:22Of course, we are only doing this because we want to win.
02:24In addition, the time is ideal to enter the highest level of sports car racing, as there is currently a fair and competitive environment.
02:35To achieve this ambitious goal, Aston Martin has assembled an experienced driver lineup.
02:41In the WC World Endurance Championship, factory drivers Harry Tinknell, Tom Gomla, Marco Sensen and Alex Riberas will compete in two cars.
02:50In the IMSA series, Aston Martin will compete with just one car, driven by Ross Gunn and Canadian Roman De Angelis.
02:59The WC season starts in Qatar, continues via Amola and Spar Frank Core Charms to the legendary 24 Hours of Lem in June.
03:08This is followed by races in Interlagos, at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, in Fuji and finally the finale on November 8th in Bahin.
03:16The IMSA series also includes renowned races, including the 12 Hours of Sayang, the Petite Lemonette Road Atlanta as well as races in Long Beach, Laguna Sea, Watkins Glen and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
