This win marked Ferrari’s return to the elite class of the World Endurance Championship after 50 years, coinciding with the Centenary edition of the race.
Ferrari’s Triumphant Return
Ferrari showed strong performance before the race, with qualifying sessions positioning them in the top four. Antonio Fuoco’s #50 Ferrari set a Hypercar class record during Hyperpole, with Pier Guidi’s #51 Ferrari securing second. This achievement marked Ferrari’s first Le Mans pole since 1973.
A Memorable Race
The 100th Anniversary of Le Mans saw lead changes among Ferrari, Toyota, Cadillac, Porsche, and Peugeot. Early stages were impacted by rain and safety car periods. Incidents included the #7 Toyota’s crash and the #50 Ferrari’s pit stop due to a radiator leak. The race narrowed to a duel between the #51 Ferrari and the #8 Toyota. A critical error by Toyota’s Ryo Hirakawa provided Ferrari with the lead. Despite a late system restart, the #51 Ferrari completed 342 laps, securing victory. The #50 car finished fifth, but both Ferraris celebrated together in a victory lap.
Historic Achievement
Victory bells rang in Maranello, Ferrari’s headquarters, marking their tenth overall win at Le Mans. This 1:18 scale model of the Ferrari 499P celebrates this monumental victory and Ferrari’s enduring racing legacy.
