Mattia Drudi gets the Valkyrie reserve call-up

Aston Martin factory driver Mattia Drudi just got the call he’s probably been dreaming of — or at least the call prior to that call. He has been tapped as reserve driver for both the WEC and IMSA Valkyrie programs.

Drudi drives the Vantage GT3 in both WEC and GTWC Europe, but his outing in the Valkyrie in last year’s WEC Bahrain rookie test apparently went well, and now he’s going to be the guy waiting by the Batphone.
