Le Mans 11 June 2023
Ferrari wins the 24 Hours of Le Mans centenary with the 499P driven to the finish line by Alessandro Pier Guidi, who shared car number 51 with James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi over the 342 laps completed on the French track. This is a historic result for the Maranello company: returning to the top class, after half a century of absence, the Ferrari – AF Corse team signs the most famous endurance race in the world, which represents the fourth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship 2023. Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen finished fifth at the checkered flag with the 499P number 50, delayed during the night by an operation on the car which prevented the crew from being in contention for the podium, despite the excellent performance which made it possible to recover various positions.
The Ferrari 499Ps had started from the first two positions on the grid respectively with Hypercar number 50 – Fuoco had signed the pole position – and 51 after the times recorded during the Hyperpole.
This is the tenth overall victory for the Prancing Horse at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, after those obtained in 1949, 1954, 1958, 1960-1965. The total number of wins thus rises to 39, including the 29 class wins in the Ferrari history at Le Mans.
With the result obtained in the fourth world championship round, Ferrari remains second in the Constructors' standings, closing the distance from Toyota, now by 19 points.
