Can the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s extreme aero design make it on race day?

Question

Anju · Accepted Answer

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.

Rishi · Answer

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.

Gaurav · Answer

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.

Shantanu · Answer

This will be a nightmare to balance. A single track change or temperature shift could have the entire car out of whack.

Ashish · Answer

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.

Sachin · Answer

I worry about reliability. A long race is something more things can go wrong or be damaged.

Rahul · Answer

There could be brilliance in qualifying but struggle in the races. The aero features may be too sensitive to perform consistently over 24 hours.

Manish · Answer

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.
