The 24 Hours at Le Mans has long been esteemed as one of the most distinguished events in racing history. Featuring a host of top-tier vehicle brands, the race has led to innovations that have moved from the garage into the everyday consumer market. Ford, one of the most iconic brands in the United States and around the globe, is planning to take part in the event starting in 2027.
Ford Looking to Recreate History
In the 1960s, Ford captured four consecutive Le Mans titles, establishing the company as one of the best in the world. Today, the brand focuses on reviving the magic that once propelled it to racing prominence. 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
Back in the 1960s, Ford famously bested Ferrari to secure its Le Mans championships. This win was critical as Ferrari quickly gained market traction and emerged as a major force in endurance racing. Ford's achievements ensured that the brand continued to be celebrated for pushing automotive limits.
Everyone Is Excited To Have Ford Back
Alongside his excitement for returning to Le Mans, Ford's CEO was joined by the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) CEO in sharing his enthusiasm. He mentioned that this step symbolizes renewed interest and growth in endurance racing and the Le Mans event.
