The iRacing Aston Martin partnership is officially expanding. In the August 2025 development update, iRacing confirms a new multi-car collaboration with Aston Martin that begins with the recently announced Vantage GT3 EVO. Developers say this is just the start of a broader lineup of Aston Martin race cars set to arrive in future builds.
According to iRacing, the new Vantage GT3 EVO brings a modernized design and refined aerodynamics compared to the current GT3 version in the sim. It also introduces updated engine mapping, balance-of-performance tuning, and more accurate traction-control behavior.
More Cars on the Horizon
While the Vantage GT3 EVO is the first confirmed model in this collaboration, iRacing teases that more Aston Martin machinery is already in production. Developers mention that the agreement covers “multiple cars across GT and prototype categories.” Rumors suggest future additions could include the Vantage GT4 update and the highly anticipated Valkyrie AMR-LMH, Aston Martin’s top-level Le Mans Hypercar.
Each car will use detailed CAD data provided directly by Aston Martin Racing, ensuring unmatched visual and physical accuracy. This data-sharing partnership allows iRacing to simulate the cars with factory-level precision, from power curves to aerodynamic behavior.
A Premium GT Experience
The iRacing Aston Martin collaboration also continues the sim’s growing focus on GT racing. With the addition of the new Vantage GT3 EVO, the GT3 category in iRacing will feature its deepest and most competitive field yet. Players can expect updated sound design, new tire and suspension parameters tuned for NTMv10, and improved force feedback detail.
Developers confirm that the car has been tested on multiple tracks, including Spa, Sebring, and Fuji, to ensure accurate performance across a range of conditions.
Early tester feedback describes it as “incredibly stable on corner entry” and “responsive under trail braking.”
Why It Matters
This expanded partnership highlights iRacing’s ongoing effort to strengthen relationships with real-world manufacturers. Aston Martin joins brands like Porsche, BMW, and Ferrari in contributing data and design input directly to iRacing’s car development process. For sim racers, it means more authenticity, better physics, and official support from one of the most iconic names in motorsport.
As more cars arrive under the partnership, players can expect even closer alignment between iRacing’s virtual GT racing and Aston Martin’s global motorsport programs.
Community Excitement
The iRacing community quickly embraced the news. GT3 fans praised the car’s sharp design and the addition of another British powerhouse to the sim’s lineup.
Prototype enthusiasts are equally excited about the possibility of the Valkyrie joining the GTP class in a future build.
With testing nearly complete for the Vantage GT3 EVO, the car could debut in iRacing as early as the December 2025 build.
