Two Ferraris on the Le Mans 24-hour podium

The AF Corse x Francorchamps Motors Ferrari 488 GTEs finished second and third at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the third round of the World Endurance Championship, in the LMGTE Pro class.

Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Daniel Serra repeated the result achieved in 2020, following the victories achieved in 2019 and 2021 by the no. 51 488 GTE.

Their second place, which propels Pier Guidi and Calado to 3rd in the world championship standings, 5 points behind the race winners and the new standings leaders, Richard Lietz and Gianmaria Bruni, is further proof of the tenacity of the reigning world champions, who were able to compensate the limitations imposed by the BoP with their talent.

Similarly, the drivers of car no. 52, Miguel Molina, Antonio Fuoco and Davide Rigon, finished third, one lap down after a puncture that seriously compromised the chances of the trio. All three put in very convincing performances in the various stages of the race, even after the decisive accident that put a dent in a second place that was within their reach.

The FIA WEC will return to Italy on the weekend of July 8-10 at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, while anticipation is already palpable for the next edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours Centenary, where Ferrari will be present with the Le Mans Hypercar, whose new design was recently unveiled.
