Ferrari 499P Le Mans

Le Mans 24 hour 2024

On June 16, 2024, Ferrari celebrated its 11th victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, marking the second consecutive win for the 499P following its landmark Centenary triumph. The team of Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen in the #50 Ferrari 499P joined the ranks of Le Mans champions, alongside last year’s winners Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi.

This year’s race was intense, with rain disrupting strategies for many of the 23 Hypercar teams. Ferrari, however, once again prevailed.

A new highlight this year was the privately entered Ferrari 499P #83, from AF Corse in striking Giallo Modena yellow. Driven by Maranello stars Yifei Ye, Robert Shwartzman, and Robert Kubica, this car made a bold impression, leading for 83 laps and maintaining the spotlight for much of the race. Though forced to retire after 248 laps, the #83 delivered a powerful performance, even keeping the two signature red 499P Ferraris at bay for a time.

New Driver Line Up with Third Ferrari 499P Entry for 2024

Robert Shwartzman and Yifei Ye will join Robert Kubica to form the driver lineup for AF Corse’s customer Ferrari 499P Hypercar in the FIA World Endurance Championship. 

The three drivers will pilot the #83 car in WEC’s 19-car Hypercar class, with Kubica initially confirmed when the series released its provisional seasons entry list last year.  

Shwartzman will be making his series debut and is set for his first race appearances in top-class machinery, having raced a Ferrari 296 GT3 with AF Corse in Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup in 2023. 

The triumphant trio of James Calado, Alessandro Pier Guidi, and Antonio Giovinazzi, winners of the Le Mans 24 Hours, will once more join forces in piloting the #51 Ferrari 499P Le Mans Hypercar under the banner of the factory AF Corse team. The companion entry, the #50 car, will be handled by the skilled lineup of Antonio Fuoco, Nicklas Nielsen, and Miguel Molina.

He first sampled Ferrari’s LMH offering in the Bahrain rookie test in November and came out as top driver which actually came after he won the Endurance Cup season finale in Barcelona.
