The 24 Hours at Le Mans has long been heralded as one of the leading events in motorsports. Showcasing some of the finest vehicle brands, the race has been a catalyst for innovations that have evolved from the garage into the consumer market. Ford, an iconic brand in both the United States and worldwide, is scheduled to join the event beginning in 2027.
Ford Looking to Recreate History
Ford's historic achievement of winning four consecutive Le Mans titles in the 1960s solidified its reputation as one of the world's best. Today, the company is focused on reviving the success that once placed it at the pinnacle 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
In the 1960s, Ford famously overcame Ferrari to secure its Le Mans wins. This accomplishment was pivotal, as Ferrari was quickly establishing itself as a dominant contender in endurance racing. Ford's victories confirmed that the brand remains committed to pushing the boundaries of automotive performance.
Everyone Is Excited To Have Ford Back
Along with Ford's CEO sharing his excitement about the return to Le Mans, the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) CEO also expressed his delight. He noted that this development signifies renewed momentum and growth in both endurance racing and the Le Mans event.
