We hope Aston's recent stock market performance won't affect their joining us and Toyota in 2020/2021. We're not impressed with their flip statement that all they have to do to the Valkyrie to get it ready is to "detune it". As my friend Mark said: "When the flag drops the bullshit stops."

The Valkyrie's engine might be what has to be "detuned", but I doubt the car itself is already at lmp1 pace. If it was then why is the rules pushing the cars to 1100kg? It'd be interesting to know who asked or pushed for the cars to be that heavy. Imo, it's someone with a road car that's already that heavy, and there's only one team besides yours that are claiming to use a road car.
