While it's a rekindling of the legendary Ford vs. Ferrari rivalry, this time Ford will also face formidable competition from:
- Aston Martin
- Cadillac
- Alpine
- BMW
- Peugeot
- Porsche
- Toyota
The anticipation builds as every major manufacturer gears up for what could be a historic showdown or a chaotic first-corner clash.
Ford Performance aims to capture the legacy of its iconic 1-2-3 win in 1966, followed by three more consecutive victories. For now, specifics like the chassis, team, and drivers remain under wraps. Yet, Ford's historical wins from 1966 to 1969 provide plenty of inspiration.
Bill Ford, the Executive Chairman, is all in:
> "When we race, we race to win. Le Mans means more to our history than any other track. We beat Ferrari in the 1960s and again 50 years later. I am thrilled to go back and compete at the highest level."
He emphasizes Ford's commitment to push boundaries and "go like hell!"
Richard Mille, FIA’s endurance racing commission president, notes:
> “Endurance racing’s golden age is right here, right now.”
