Ferrari made history this month by taking a stunning overall victory at the 93rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The AF Corse #83 Ferrari 499P, a customer-run entry, crossed the finish line just 14 seconds ahead of the second-place Porsche, marking a dramatic and emotional win. It’s Ferrari’s third consecutive triumph at Le Mans, a streak the brand hasn’t achieved since its golden era in the 1960s.
What made this win even more special was the driver lineup: Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson. Kubica, once thought to be lost to top-level motorsport after his 2011 rally crash, became the first Polish driver to win Le Mans. Yifei Ye added his name to the history books as the first Chinese driver to ever claim victory in the legendary endurance race. And to top it off, they did it not as part of Ferrari’s factory squad, but through a satellite team — a rare and powerful testament to how strong the Ferrari hypercar package has become.
The race wasn’t short on drama. Ferrari’s main entry, the #51, suffered a late error that cost it the lead, opening the door for the #83 to take over and hold on under intense pressure until the final lap. The fact that two Ferraris still ended up on the podium — first and third — shows the depth of the team's preparation and the evolution of its endurance program.
This victory cements Ferrari’s place at the top of modern endurance racing and proves that iconic names can still write new chapters in motorsport. The prancing horse is not just back — it's dominant.
