Meet the first works Ferrari bid for Le Mans victory in 50 years
The Hypercar category is divided into two classes: LMH and LMDh. Ferrari is racing in the former, while Porsche has chosen to join the latter .
That’s not to say Ferrari shouldn’t be worried about the parity the Balance of Performance formula might hand teams and manufacturers in the LMDh category. One wonders what Enzo Ferrari might have made ofNevertheless, Ferrari entering in any class other than LMH wouldn’t feel right. As Coletta puts it: ‘This [car] is a manifesto of the technologies of Ferrari. For this, we need to create 100% of the parts of the car.
Ferrari might have been absent from the top class at Le Mans since the 1970s but it’s not as if it’s a newbie to modern-era endurance racing. It’s been one of the top manufacturers in the GTE class, wining the WEC championship, and that class at Le Mans, multiple times. Ferrari’s a little up against it, time-wise. Its first test with the 499P happened in July 2022. Toyota, for example, has a big chunk of race experience in the Hypercar class to draw on by the time the two manufacturers face each other on track for real.
