For decades, the 24 Hours at Le Mans has been one of the most illustrious events on the racing calendar. With a lineup of elite vehicle brands, the race has fueled innovations that have moved from the garage to everyday driving. Ford, a name synonymous with quality in the United States and beyond, is gearing up to join the event in 2027.
Ford Looking to Recreate History
In the 1960s, Ford secured four consecutive Le Mans championships, cementing its place among the world's elite automotive brands. Today, the company is set on reviving 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
During the 1960s, Ford famously outperformed Ferrari to clinch its Le Mans titles. This was a landmark achievement, as Ferrari rapidly increased its market influence and emerged as a leader in endurance racing. Ford's wins ensured the brand continued to be viewed as a pioneer in pushing automotive boundaries.
Everyone Is Excited To Have Ford Back
Ford's CEO isn't the only one excited about Le Mans's return; the CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) also expressed his enthusiasm. He commented that the move signals a fresh wave of interest and growth in endurance racing and the Le Mans event.
