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.

However, what were the reasons behind its immense popularity, and why did Ford eventually cease production despite selling over a million units within just seven years?
