For many years, the 24 Hours at Le Mans has stood out as one of the most prestigious races in the sport. With a lineup of top-tier vehicle brands, the event has driven innovations that have transitioned from the garage to everyday driving. Ford, a globally renowned name and a household brand in the United States, is set to participate in the race starting in 2027.
Ford Looking to Recreate History
During the 1960s, Ford secured four straight Le Mans championships, establishing its status as one of the best in the world. Now, the brand is focused on recapturing the magic that once made it a racing powerhouse. 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
In the 1960s, Ford famously triumphed over Ferrari to capture its Le Mans titles. This was a pivotal moment as Ferrari quickly increased its market share and emerged as the leader in endurance racing. Ford's accomplishments assured that the brand continued to be seen as an innovator in automotive performance.
Everyone Is Excited To Have Ford Back
Not only has Ford's CEO shown his excitement about the return to Le Mans, but the CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) has also expressed his support. He noted that it represents a revitalized interest and growth in both endurance racing and the Le Mans event.
