The 2024 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans saw Ferrari once again emerge victorious, marking their second consecutive win with the impressive Ferrari 499P. This victory solidified Ferrari’s dominance in the Hypercar class and underscored the strength and reliability of their hybrid hypercar.

Performance Overview

Ferrari entered the race with high expectations following their 2023 triumph. The Ferrari 499P, driven by Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen, showcased remarkable performance throughout the race. The #50 Ferrari 499P secured overall victory, finishing the grueling 24-hour race with a 14-second lead over their nearest competitor, the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid. The race was a dramatic affair, with changing weather conditions and intense competition making the Ferrari’s consistent performance even more impressive​

Key Moments

The #50 Ferrari’s journey to victory was not without its challenges. The race saw multiple lead changes and intense battles, particularly with the Toyota team. Despite facing late-race issues, including a brief mechanical scare, the Ferrari 499P maintained its pace and reliability. One of the most thrilling moments came towards the end of the race when the weather conditions changed, adding an extra layer of difficulty. However, the Ferrari team’s strategic management of these conditions ensured their victory​.

Private Team Entry: The Yellow Car

Adding to the excitement was the participation of a privateer team running a yellow Ferrari 499P. This entry highlighted the competitiveness and appeal of the Ferrari 499P, even outside the factory-backed teams. The private team’s performance was commendable, managing to stay competitive throughout the race and showcasing the car’s capabilities in the hands of a smaller team. Sadly, having lead the race for a while, the No.83 car driven by Yifel Ye, Robert Shwartzman and Robert Kubica had to retire from the race due to a reliability issue.
