The 24 Hours at Le Mans is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost events in racing. Featuring an array of elite vehicle brands, the race has served as a catalyst for innovations that have moved from the garage to the consumer market. Ford, a prominent name in the United States and globally, is preparing to join the event in 2027.
Ford Looking to Recreate History
Ford's four consecutive Le Mans victories in the 1960s solidified its reputation as one of the world's top automotive brands. Today, the company is eager to rekindle the success that once propelled it to the apex of racing. 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
During the 1960s, Ford famously outclassed Ferrari to secure its Le Mans titles. This achievement was significant as Ferrari was rapidly carving out its market share and establishing itself as a leader in endurance racing. Ford's triumphs ensured the brand remained a benchmark for pushing vehicle limits.
Everyone Is Excited To Have Ford Back
Along with Ford's CEO expressing his excitement over a return to Le Mans, the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) CEO also voiced his approval. He mentioned that the move signals a renewed vigor and expansion in both endurance racing and the Le Mans event.
