This weekend, Aston Martin rolls a pair of Valkyrie hypercars onto the grid at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the brand’s second crack at endurance racing’s biggest prize. Those two cars are spoken for, obviously.
But if you’ve got the means and a serious sim racing habit, Aston and Curv Racing Simulators just announced the next best thing: the AMR-C01-R Hypercar Edition, a limited-run rig dressed up exactly like the race cars themselves.
The Wheel Is the Whole Point
Curv has been building ultra-premium simulators with Aston Martin since 2020, so the carbon fiber cockpit formula isn’t new. What is new, and what makes this edition genuinely special, is the bespoke Aston Martin Valkyrie steering wheel bolted to the front of it.
Modeled after the actual race car component, the aluminum and carbon fiber wheel packs nine rotary dials, 12 push buttons, a five-inch color display, and magnetic paddle shifters with dual-clutch paddles and an adjustable bite point. Every wheel is built to order, with customizable side and rotary color configurations. It’s about as close to real Hypercar-class hardware as a civilian is ever going to get.
Shaped by a Guy Who’d Know
The whole rig is hand-built in the UK around a carbon fiber monocoque, with a seating position that mirrors the Valkyrie’s actual driving geometry. That part was overseen by Curv founder Darren Turner, who happens to be an Aston Martin test driver and a three-time Le Mans class winner. So, the credentials are verified.
Marek Reichman’s design studio handled the bodywork, which comes in two liveries matching the #007 and #009 cars racing in France, both draped in Podium Green with contrasting yellow or red accents. Fair warning, though: this thing is fully static. There are no hydraulics, and no motion.
Serious Silicon
The hardware backing it all up is no joke either. A 49-inch curved Samsung Odyssey G95C display runs at 240Hz with a 1ms response time, fed by an NVIDIA RTX 50 Series graphics card, 32GB of DDR5, and a 2TB SSD.
Assetto Corsa comes pre-installed, a Sennheiser headset is included, and an electronically sliding pedal box offers 200mm of adjustment so drivers of any height can settle in. Nothing left to do but turn some laps.
