The 24 Hours at Le Mans has been recognized for many years as one of the top events in racing. Showcasing several premier vehicle brands, the race has spurred innovation that has moved from the workshop into the consumer arena. Ford, one of the most recognized names in the United States and worldwide, intends to join the event beginning in 2027.
Ford Looking to Recreate History
In the 1960s, the Ford brand clinched four consecutive Le Mans titles, cementing its reputation as one of the world's best. Today, Ford is determined to revive the brilliance that once propelled it to racing stardom. According to Ford's CEO, the brand aims to conquer all tracks regardless of where they are and what they are made of.
Ford Bested Ferrari During Its Run of Dominance
Back in the 1960s, Ford famously outperformed Ferrari to secure its Le Mans victories. This milestone was significant since Ferrari was rapidly expanding its market presence and asserting itself as a leader in endurance racing. Ford's wins ensured that the brand remained known for pushing the limits of vehicle performance.
Everyone Is Excited To Have Ford Back
Beyond Ford's CEO expressing his enthusiasm for returning to Le Mans, the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) CEO also shared his excitement. He remarked that it symbolizes a renewed passion and growth in both endurance racing and the Le Mans event.
