The Long Beach event, which will take place on April 18, is held at the same time as the opening round of the WEC, at Imola. Therefore, it’s impossible for Tom Gamble, who is entered in theAston Martin Valkyrie n°007 in Emilia-Romagna to participate in both events, and to team up with Eduardo Barrichello.
The Heart of Racing Aston Martin Vantage No. 27 will therefore be driven by the Brazilian and by Spencer Pumpelly, who is returning to a team with which he notably drove in 2024. This season, with Roman de Angelis, notably produced a victory at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Mosport, Canada.
“It’s great to be back with Heart of Racing.”Pumpelly said. “I’ve had success with this team before, and I’m looking forward to another great performance. The atmosphere in Long Beach is always incredible, thanks to the strong car culture in Southern California and the local support the race receives. I’ll also have the opportunity to race alongside Dudu (Barrichello), which I’m very excited about. It should be a great weekend.”
