Scuderia Ferrari Le Mans History (Prototype Racing)

Ferrari first participated in the prestigious 24 hours of Le Mans race in 1949. They have a respectable record at Le Mans and won the race nine times outright between 1949 and 1965. Ever since Ferrari hasn't won Le Mans, even with the F333SP, which was non-campaigned by Ferrari themselves but was a beast at winning championships. The GT Ferraris have been consistently successful over the years, winning a number of Le Mans in their class and earning podiums and victories, but Ferrari’s prototypes were stopped by Scuderia Ferrari in 1973 to focus on racing in Formula 1. Now the factory team is back to join LMH prototype racing after 50 years from 2023.

Ferrari 499p - LeMans 100 yrs winner today
-
Ferrari got the job done!
-
What a fantastic video. Absolutely loved those old archive footage clips of Ferrari's race cars through the years. As a Ferrari fan I'm so happy and excited to see Ferrari finally making a comeback to the prototype racing class. Hopefully the 499P will add another glorious chapter to Ferrari's illustrious racing heritage.

And the 499P has won Le Mans

Correction : Last Ferrari overall win at Le Mans was in 1965 not 1966 👍

Congrats for this nice video 👏 Le Mans 1966 was a huge defeat for Ferrari against Ford. But very often everybody forget that few months later (January 1967) Ferrari placed 3 cars in the top 3 spots at the 24h of Daytona. In what was considered a sort of home-soil for Ford. Cheers from Monza 🥂 Marco Lazzari [iKR] 🙋🏻♂️

Update: Ferrari just won 2023 Le Mans 🔥🔥🔥

it was epic when ferrari made a 1-2-3 at daytona as a revenge to ford
-
Ferrari did race the 312pb at Le Mans in ‘73. Brian Redman and Jacky Ickx led most of the race, but retired in the 22 hour with engine failure.

Awesome video

I think the 333SP was actually an IMSA car and technically not legal for LeMans, just like the Panoz "Batmobile". The ACO allowed the cars to enter but put engine and other restrictions on them that made each uncompetitive against the Porsche, Mercedes, Toyota etc. LeMans prototypes.

Terrific video, loved seeing all the Ferraris over the years
-
Good video. However you made at least one key mistake. Ford did not "instantly" end Ferrari's winning streak. Ford tried and failed twice against that same Ferrari team (1964 and 1965) before their first victory. Also, Ford didn't make sure Ferrari ever won again. Ferrari kept competing and it was Porsche who gets that credit. After 1970, it was clear that beating Porsche would be a tremendous undertaking. Ferrari quit some years after that (1973). Ford had already quit endurance racing.

Oh god, the holy 333 SP! One of the prettiest prototype race cars ever built.
-
333sp will always be my favorite "modern" (yes i know its quite old now lol) lmp. Gorgeous. Really reminds me of the 312pbs. Throw in a v12, no paddle shifts or driver aids, and you have one of the last unadulterrated lmps ever built

Late 1950s to early 1970s was the era of the most beautiful Le mans cars.
-
you have another one to add to that lot now !!!!! 🤗
-
Now the 499P has won Le Mans 2 times in a row🤩🤩
