June 9, 20232 yr Author Ferrari secured a front row lock-out in hyperpole qualifying for the Le Mans 24 Hours, claiming their first pole in the famous race in half a century. The number 50 Ferrari shared by Antonio Fuoco – who drove the pole-winning lap – Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen will start famous 24-hour endurance race from the front of the field, ahead of their team mates in the number 51 car. Toyota will start third on the grid with the number eight car, ahead of the number 75 Porsche Penske. The half-hour hyperpole session, unlike other rounds of the World Endurance Championship, saw all classes on the track at the same time. After Wednesday’s qualifying session, the eight hypercars participating included both Toyotas, both Ferraris, two Cadillacs – the number two and number three – and two Porsche Penskes, the number five car and number 75. The Toyotas were the first cars over the line to begin their first flying laps of the session on the medium compound tyres, with the number eight Toyota of Brendon Hartley ahead of the number seven car of Kamui Kobayashi with the Ferraris behind. Earl Bamber’s first push lap in the number two Porsche was deleted due to exceeding track limits at Tertre Rouge, before Hartley crossed the line to set the initial benchmark time of a 3’26.398. That was immediately beaten by the second Toyota by just over a tenth of a second, before the two Ferraris easily beat them both, with the number 51 Ferrari driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi posting a 2’23.897 just ahead of the number 50 sister Ferrari. Both Toyotas improved on their second laps, but were still over a second slower than the Ferraris at the top of the times.
June 11, 20232 yr Author Ferrari took a shock victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours 100th anniversary race, with a line-up including Britain's James Calado. The 33-year-old was part of a three-driver line-up who beat overwhelming favourites Toyota in a race that saw several car manufacturers return. Ferrari were competing as a top-level works team for the first time in 50 years. "It's a great achievement after so long," said Calado. "This will go down in history," added Ferrari's most high-profile British driver since Nigel Mansell in the 1980s. The number 51 Ferrari crossed the line first with Alessandro Pier Guidi behind the wheel after a stint by former Formula 1 driver Antonio Giovinazzi. It means, 58 years after their last victory, Ferrari have now taken their 10th top level Le Mans win in one of the most thrilling races for years.
