The 24 Hours at Le Mans has long been known as one of the premier events in racing. Featuring a number of elite vehicle brands, the race has inspired innovation that has translated from the garage to the consumer market. Ford, one of the best-known brands in the United States and throughout the world, plans to enter the event starting in 2027.

Ford Looking to Recreate History

The Ford brand won four consecutive Le Mans titles in the 1960s, establishing the company as one of the best in the world. Today, Ford aims to recapture the magic that led it to be among the most dominant in the racing world. 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

During the 1960s, Ford famously defeated Ferrari to capture its Le Mans titles. This was important because Ferrari was rapidly gaining market share and was establishing itself as the best in the endurance space. However, Ford's victories ensured that the brand would remain to be seen as one of the best in the world at pushing the boundaries of what vehicles could do.

Everyone Is Excited To Have Ford Back

In addition to Ford's CEO showing his excitement for the return to Le Mans, the CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) made it known that he saw it as a great thing as well. He stated that it was a symbol of the renewed interest and growth of endurance racing and Le Mans as well.
