For years, the 24 Hours at Le Mans has been hailed as one of the most esteemed events in the racing world. With a roster of distinguished vehicle brands, the race has sparked innovations that have seamlessly transitioned from the garage to consumer roads. Ford, one of the most recognizable names in the U.S. and globally, is gearing up to take part in the event in 2027.
Ford Looking to Recreate History
Ford's four consecutive Le Mans championships during the 1960s established its reputation as a global automotive leader. Today, Ford is set on rekindling the spirit that once made it a powerhouse on the track. 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 outdid Ferrari to clinch its Le Mans titles. This milestone was especially notable as Ferrari rapidly built its market presence and emerged as an endurance racing giant. Ford's victories solidified its standing as an innovator pushing the boundaries of vehicle performance.
Everyone Is Excited To Have Ford Back
In addition to Ford's CEO's excitement over the event's return, the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) CEO also voiced his support. He remarked that this move is a testament to the renewed energy and growth in endurance racing and Le Mans.
