In fact, the visibility may be better. The LMP style cockpits could give a wider field of view than that bubble canopy.

They are probably wise enough to have thought of that. Maybe they’ve got some clever solution to quick driver swaps that we haven’t seen yet.

That might restrict their driver choices. Not every top endurance driver will be able to fit in that layout or even be comfortable in it.

You're all missing the point. Better protection in crashes is what this cockpit design could offer. Safety first!

I'm worried about long-term comfort. After 3 or 4 hours, what is okay for a quick stint is torture.

Let's not underestimate professional drivers. They fit into all kinds of weird cockpits. They will make it work if it is fast.
Can the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s extreme aero design make it on race day?
03 February 2025 11:05
I believe it will be a beast. They should create tons of downforce without nearly as much drag as a traditional wing. Could be a game-changer.
Can the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s extreme aero design make it on race day?

Nah, it's too extreme. But LMH rules will make them dial it back so much it’ll lose its edge. In the end, it will be another prototype.
Can the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s extreme aero design make it on race day?
03 February 2025 11:05
I'm optimistic. Red Bull Advanced Technologies are working with Aston. They would be the people that could get extreme aero to work within the rules.

This will be a nightmare to balance. A single track change or temperature shift could have the entire car out of whack.
Can the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s extreme aero design make it on race day?

You're all missing the point. It may not be the fastest but it will look amazing on track. Half the battle in getting fans excited is that.
Can the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s extreme aero design make it on race day?

I worry about reliability. A long race is something more things can go wrong or be damaged.
Can the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s extreme aero design make it on race day?

There could be brilliance in qualifying but struggle in the races. The aero features may be too sensitive to perform consistently over 24 hours.
Can the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s extreme aero design make it on race day?
03 February 2025 11:05
Let's not underestimate Aston. This has years to develop. I'm sure they have found ways to make the aero work within LMH rules.
Is the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s lack of a hybrid system a bold move or a fatal flaw?
03 February 2025 11:05
This is a bold move that might work. Fewer things mean less complexity and there are fewer things to go wrong during a 24 hour race. And without hybrid interference, that V12 sound will be glorious.
Is the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s lack of a hybrid system a bold move or a fatal flaw?
03 February 2025 11:05
Fatal flaw, no doubt. They are giving up free performance and efficiency. What will they do to compete with hybrid cars that can opportunistically deploy electric power?
Is the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s lack of a hybrid system a bold move or a fatal flaw?
03 February 2025 11:05
I'm on the fence. If aero and chassis is nailed, it could work. Now look at how competitive Glickenhaus has been at times without hybrid power.
Is the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s lack of a hybrid system a bold move or a fatal flaw?
03 February 2025 11:05
It's not just about performance. They could suffer in fuel consumption because of the lack of hybrid tech. They will pit more often, losing time.
Is the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s lack of a hybrid system a bold move or a fatal flaw?
03 February 2025 11:05
Perhaps they have inside information we don’t? Aston's not stupid. If they’re risking it, they must have data that this is possible.
Is the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s lack of a hybrid system a bold move or a fatal flaw?
03 February 2025 11:05
I think it's refreshing. Everyone's going hybrid or electric. Nice to see someone holding out with pure ICE power. It’s more authentic to the Valkyrie’s roots.
