Ferrari won the 93rd Le Mans 24 Hours held this year, achieving back-to-back victories for three consecutive years.

The car that led to victory was the AF Corse team's No. 83 499P, driven by Ferrari's official drivers Yifei Ye, Phil Hanson, and Robert Kubica.

In the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship Round 4, the No. 51 499P driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi placed third, while another Ferrari-AF Corse vehicle No. 50, driven by Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen, followed behind.

This event attracted a total of 332,000 spectators, and John Elkann, Ferrari's chairman, and Benedetto Vigna, Ferrari's CEO, visited the venue to share the joy of victory with the team.

With this victory, Ferrari qualified to permanently hold the Le Mans 24 Hours winner's trophy. This is a special honor awarded only to teams that have won three times in a row.

Ferrari triumphed again this year with the 499P, following victories by the teams of Pier Guidi, Calado, and Giovinazzi in 2023, and Fuoco, Molina, and Nielsen in 2024. The 499P has won every race held at the La Sarthe circuit since its debut, establishing itself as a motorsport legend. Additionally, through this event, Yifei Ye became the first Chinese driver to reach the top of the podium in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours.

John Elkann, Ferrari's chairman, noted, "Winning three consecutive times at Le Mans is a proud historic achievement and the highest respect paid to our founder Enzo Ferrari," adding, "Over the past three years, three generations of vehicles and nine drivers have demonstrated what true teamwork is, showcasing how remarkable the unity of everyone working at Ferrari has been in creating such extraordinary results."

Yifei Ye, Ferrari's official driver and driver of the winning No. 83 499P this year, said, "The performance of the 499P was truly excellent, allowing us to be in a position to compete for first place from the start." He added, "Last year, I was leading with the 83 laps like the vehicle number but retired due to technical issues, which was very regrettable, but this year, I was able to make up for that misfortune, and I am really happy to win at Le Mans with Ferrari."

From 1949 to 2025, Ferrari has achieved a total of 12 overall victories in the world's oldest and most prestigious endurance race, the Le Mans 24 Hours, and with this year's victory at Le Mans 24 Hours, it has achieved three consecutive overall wins for the first time since the 1960s. It previously reached the top with six consecutive victories from 1960 to 1965. The last first place was recorded with the Ferrari 250 LM, which was the last overall victory in France before returning to the top class in 2023.

Ferrari won every round of the World Championship held this season in Qatar Lusail, Italy Imola, Belgium Spa, and France Le Mans. Particularly notable is the impressive record at the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours, where the 499P now holds a total of seven overall victory records. This includes four wins recorded this season and two wins recorded with vehicle No. 83 at Le Mans and COTA in 2024, along with the 2023 Le Mans 24 Hours victory.

After finishing the Le Mans 24 Hours race, Ferrari maintained the overall lead in the manufacturer's institutional sector with 202 points. The gap with second-place Toyota is 111 points. In the World Driver Championship, the team of Pier Guidi, Calado, and Giovinazzi leads with 105 points, while the team of Yifei Ye, Kubica, and Hanson is in second place with 89 points, and the team of Fuoco, Molina, and Nielsen is in third place with 81 points.
