Ferrari claimed their second consecutive win in the 24 Hours race at Le Mans, thanks to a thrilling performance by Denmark’s Nicklas Nielsen. Driving the number 50 Ferrari 399P hypercar alongside Antonio Fuoco and Miguel Molina, Nielsen crossed the finish line almost running out of fuel, securing victory for his team in a challenging endurance event.
The race was marred by overnight rain, leading to extended yellow flag periods and disrupted driving conditions. Safety cars were deployed for over six hours, slowing down the pace of the race. However, as morning approached, the rain eased up, setting the stage for a thrilling final fight for the finish line.
Despite fierce competition from Toyota’s number seven GR010 hybrid, which finished just over 14 seconds behind Ferrari after a battle between the two teams, Ferrari emerged victorious once again. The team also clinched third place with their number 51 car. This win marks Ferrari’s second overall victory at the Sarthe circuit in as many years, successfully defending their title.
Porsche secured fourth place with their pole car, while Toyota’s number eight car finished in fifth place. The race was an exciting display of endurance racing skills and determination, with teams pushing themselves to their limits to secure victory in one of the most prestigious events in motor sports.
