After a half-century break, Ferrari is finally back in the top class of the WEC (World Endurance Championship), which also includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This was confirmed by the head of Ferrari Attività Sportive GT, Antonello Coletta, saying that this is a big step forward for Ferrari, which will compete in the LMH class from 2023. The car is currently in the development phase, and the second phase of intensive testing of the hybrid car will begin in June at the Fiorano track.

While other participants, such as Audi, BMW and Porsche, have announced entry into the LMDh class, which will replace the LMP2, Ferrari will compete in the top class. Toyota is already participating in this class, and Peugeot has also announced its LMH (Le Mans Hypercar).

An experienced AF Corse team will be in charge of Ferrari’s LMH prototypes. “We are proud of this announcement. It is the crowning of a dream and recognition of the great effort made over the years. Our partnership with Ferrari is a winning one that began in 2006, and I am delighted to continue it in the LMH project. We have immediately kicked off with great enthusiasm aiming to raise the bar even further and to be ready for this new challenge, ”said AF Corse team owner Amato Ferrari.

It is certain that the return of Ferrari will raise the quality, but also make the competition more interesting. The team will compete as Ferrari – AF Corse, and Ferrari hopes that LMH will have the same success as the F430 GT2, which won all three titles in its debut season (team, drivers and Constructors).
