The 24 Hours at Le Mans is renowned as one of the most celebrated races in motorsports. With an impressive roster of elite vehicle brands, the event has sparked innovations that have migrated from the workshop to everyday roads. Ford, a globally recognized brand in the United States and beyond, will join the event in 2027.
Ford Looking to Recreate History
During the 1960s, Ford clinched four consecutive Le Mans championships, solidifying its status as one of the world's top automotive brands. Today, Ford is on a mission to revive the brilliance that once made it a racing leader. 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 titles. This accomplishment was pivotal, as Ferrari rapidly expanded its market presence and emerged as a dominant force in endurance racing. Ford's triumphs ensured that the brand remained synonymous with pushing the boundaries of automotive performance.
Everyone Is Excited To Have Ford Back
In addition to sharing his excitement for the Le Mans return, Ford's CEO was echoed by the CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC), who also expressed his delight. He noted that this development reflects renewed interest and growth in endurance racing and the iconic Le Mans event.
