Q: CAN A GAMING COMPANY WIN AT LE MANS?

August 2025

As you read this, I will have just about managed to peel myself from the arse shaped divot in my sofa having spent an entire weekend watching the Le Mans 24-Hour Race. Whether I’m at the track or hogging the television at home, Le Mans is an annual highlight. For someone with an insatiable appetite for motorsport, getting more than half an F1 season’s worth of racing condensed into one weekend is like that time as a kid when I drank an entire bottle of Ribena cordial neat. They practically had to scrape me off the ceiling.

This year’s Le Mans is particularly exciting because, for the first time, it features the racing version of the Aston Martin Valkyrie, undeniably one of the most desirable road cars ever. Better yet, the race version retains the road car’s engine and has become an instant fan favourite for its trouser tautening 6.5 litre V12 howl. Having heard it in person, it is, without a doubt, the best sounding current racing car and certainly knocks Fl’s V6 hybrid into a cocked crash helmet.
