The upcoming 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours race is highly anticipated. Ferrari is entering the race as the team to beat for the first time this century, following their victory in the centenary edition. This year’s race boasts a competitive field with 23 Hypercars, 23 LMGT3s, and 16 ORECAs in the LMP2 class, ensuring an exciting event. The battle for the overall win in the top class is expected to be intense, especially after three different winners in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Ferrari, last year’s winner, faces high expectations and pressure to perform well. Despite some setbacks in the previous races, the team is determined to bounce back and secure a victory. The No. 50 Ferrari trio of Nielsen, Fuoco, and Molina has shown potential, with frequent strong performances, but a breakthrough victory has so far eluded them. Following a disappointing race in Imola, the team underwent a thorough debrief to learn from their mistakes and improve for the future.
As they gear up for the Le Mans race, the team is optimistic and aiming for success. The No. 50 crew is confident in their abilities and determined to showcase their potential. After finishing fifth last year due to radiator damage, the team is looking to make a strong comeback and challenge for the top spot in this year’s event.
