Ferrari will return to endurance racing with a new Le Mans Hypercar in 2023. For the first time in 50 years, the red racers from Maranello will again be fighting for victory in the legendary 24-hour race. The Ferrari Comeback Le Mans 2023 will be the return to the pinnacle of endurance racing. Ferrari announced this yesterday.
Entry into the hypercar class is scheduled to mark the 50th anniversary of leaving the racing team in 1973. Ferrari's opponents in the hypercar class will then be Audi, Glickenhaus, Peugot, Porsche and Toyota.
With 24 world championship titles (most recently in 2017) and 36 victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Italian sports car manufacturer has set a respectable record.

Ferrari has already started developing a corresponding LMH vehicle.“With the new Le Mans Hypercar program, Ferrari reaffirms its sporting commitment and determination to be an important part of major global motorsport events,” said John Elkann, President of Ferrari.
The track testing program, the name of the car and the drivers that make up the official teams will only be announced in the near future, according to Ferrari. However, we have not yet received any further details.
For Le Mans fans, the Ferrari Comeback Le Mans 2023 will certainly be good news. A brand with a great motorsport history is returning 24h racing .
