Aston Martin Valkyrie Sustains Momentum Ahead of Le Mans

Aston Martin's Valkyrie Sustains Momentum Ahead of Le Mans

The Le Mans Test Day brought mixed results as teams focused on relative positions and segment times.

While Aston Martin's No. 007 Valkyrie set the quickest time, Cadillac's V-Series.R platform ranked third-quickest.

However, there is still a long way to go before the end of sports car racing's most prestigious 24-hour event.

The fastest lap of the No. 007 Aston Martin Valkyrie driven by Tom Gamble helped sustain the momentum of the THOR team.

Gamble used soft tires to just edge the No. 8 Toyota TR010 Hybrid of Brendan Hartley.

Brandon Hartley's teammate, Alex Lynn, set a pole lap of 3:23.166 last year on board the Hertz Team Jota Cadillac.

The Alpine Endurance Team's A424 entries were fourth and fifth quickest followed by the No. 101 Cadillac of Wayne Taylor Racing.

Teams are under pressure to show strong results as they face competition from other manufacturers.
