Le Pesage done for the Aston Martin powered squad - next the car parade before tomorrows LM24 Test Day

 

With all the pomp and ceremony otherwise expected within the opening gambits to the 24 Hours of Le Mans saw the two Aston Martin powered Valkyrie Hypercars and the two Aston Martin Racing powered Vantage LMGT3 cars and their respective Heart of Racing and Racing Spirit of Leman crew pass out yesterday afternoon.

Now within the picturesque backdrop of the older sections of Le Mans within the Place de La Republique saw the four cars pass through the more visible technical inspections upon the cars prior to tomorrows test day as well as the collective interviews for the drivers on the stage in front of the (again) large crowd.

For many within the two Aston Martin (Racing) camps, this is nothing new having been in that position many times before but for many within the Vantage LMGT3 crews – this was a new experience which they all seemed to be revelling within.

With those technical inspections and driver interviews that make up the Le Pesage process within the square due to continue until about lunchtime, emphasis then moves onto other parts of the town as both the #27 Heart of Racing Vantage LMGT3 and its sister #009 Valkyrie cars are due to form part of the car parade this afternoon.

After that, attention moves squarely to the Circuit de La Sarthe with the first Le Mans 24Hr official test session running between 10:00-13:00Hrs before the second running between 15:30-18:30Hr local time.
