I wonder if AF Corse will run these cars.
And imagine all the driver managers going crazy right now... |

Years and years of speculation about a possible Ferrari team in WEC and finally it's gonna happen!! Just wow
![]() So it will be and Hypercar just like Peugeot, Toyota and Glickenhaus. Audi, Porsche and Acura opted for the LMDH concept. Who knows how these two philosophy will clash together ... ![]() |

I imagine F1 will now be magically able to avoid a clash with Le Mans

I think this is the natural consequence of f1 budget cap and 2022 PU freezing that will let f1 manufacturers and teams save a lot of money given also by considerable restrictions of available hours spendable on aero development as well.
2023 is still too far and a lot of things may happen in the meantime but ferrari stepping in LMH will likely obliterate VW brands influence on ACO making a really hard life for lmdh in WEC/LM. Curious about the engine that will be used for the lmh, likely a f1 derivated enlarged V6 turbo. |

Well I hope theirs actually looks hypercarish and not lmp1'ish...Toyota warming up to me some though....Ferrari out of anybody has the best chance of achieving that.

I just hope it's a V12, it would be unforgettable magic and maybe the last one in history.

Ferrari are probably the only Brand that could build a run of say 100 or 2 hypercars like the FXX-K and sell them for fortunes (£5 million or above) to collectors - so I think something that can be sold as a track only Hypercar is the most likely |

Aston who? I'm sure Ferrari will have already had a phone call or two from wealthy people wanting their own.
Absolutely huge news for Le Mans and the class. |

Yes, as well as providing work for the engineers etc in a budget cap era F1 it could add another opportunity for the team’s drivers.

The driver market is going to be fascinating. You can imagine a lot of quality drivers trying to get in the sportscar mix ASAP - especially if the likes of Audi/Ferrari try and get their desired drivers under contract towards the end of this year.
Then there's guys with budget who you could potentially build a privateer effort around. I'm assuming Porsche possibly have enough contracted drivers to test and source from within. But maybe not. |

Neel Jani has moved to Porsche's GTE team. He will be a useful guy to do LMDh development work.

Is Allan McNish or Tom Kristensen too old to be tempted out of retirement? I think a Ferrari program could use their development talents.

![]() Audi is another matter, but for Tom Kristensen side I believe that he rather see young guns taking the reins than himself. Besides Audi did have younger experienced drivers like Lotterer who would be ideal! |
