And in an event featuring no less than four Full Course Yellow (FCY) periods (where the race was neutralized and run behind the Safety Car), this happened on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Valkyrie showed promise all weekend, having set the second fastest time in free practice on Friday. Gunn then qualified the #23 Valkyrie 10th for the race, less than 0.7s off the pole position time in a highly competitive 15-minutes GTP-only session on the long and challenging 4.05-mile circuit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-889796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Aston-Martin-Valkyrie-016-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>THOR opted to keep Gunn on track during the first FCY as others pitted early in the race, giving Valkyrie a competitive track position it then maintained for much of the race. In De Angelis\u2019s hands Valkyrie then ran as high as fifth as the event moved through its various FCY phases and teams deployed diverse strategies. But in the final uninterrupted 40-minute run to the flag, the British hypercar more than held its own and even extended its advantage over the chasing pack to finish a comfortable sixth, 16.5s behind the winner.<\/p>\n<p>Valkyrie\u2019s next race in IMSA takes place at the world-famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, in the 6 Hour \u2018Battle on the Bricks\u2019 from 19-21 September.<\/p>\n<p>Above content \u00a9 2025 Aston Martin Racing Ltd, reviewed and edited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuttcars.com\/author\/rexmcafee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rex McAfee<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"IMSA 2025: Motul SportsCar Grand Prix at Road America | EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS | Motorsports on NBC\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oq693DOBxBs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
