In the 92nd edition of the grueling endurance race at Le Mans, Ferrari emerged victorious once again, beating Toyota to claim the 24 Hours race title for the second consecutive year. The race was marked by wet conditions, but Ferrari’s number 50 car, driven by Nicklas Nielsen, managed to take the chequered flag despite almost running out of fuel.
Ferrari’s success was not without its challenges. Safety cars neutralized over six hours of racing due to persistent rain overnight and long yellow flag periods that slowed down the pace of the race. But with just an hour remaining, Ferrari’s Nielsen gained a 30-second lead and ultimately secured the win in a race that was once again affected by rain.
Toyota’s number seven GR010 hybrid crossed the finish line just over 14 seconds behind Ferrari, after a closely fought battle for second place. Porsche’s pole car finished in fourth place, just over a second behind Ferrari’s number 51 car, while Toyota’s number eight car rounded out the top five finishers in the race.
This year’s race at Le Mans saw some incredible drivers who shared their driving duties with Antonio Fuoco and Miguel Molina securing Ferrari’s win. It is worth mentioning that last year, Ferrari achieved their first overall victory at Sarthe circuit after 58 years and this year they successfully defended their title in challenging conditions.
