The 24 Hours at Le Mans has long been celebrated as one of the most significant events in global racing. With a host of high-caliber vehicle brands on display, the race has inspired innovations that have transitioned from the garage to everyday roads. Ford, a well-established name in the United States and internationally, is planning to debut at the event in 2027.
Ford Looking to Recreate History
In the 1960s, Ford won four consecutive Le Mans titles, firmly establishing its status as one of the world's premier automotive brands. Today, Ford is committed to reviving the excellence that once made it a racing legend. According to Ford's CEO, the brand aims to conquer all tracks regardless of where they are and what they are made of.
