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
