Ford Motor Co. announced its return to the top tier of prototype sports car racing in 2027, competing in the World Endurance Championship series including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford, expressed excitement about this new chapter, emphasizing Ford's history of racing success and its desire to once again challenge the world. This marks Ford's return to Le Mans after a hiatus, with their last factory team competing in 1969. Ford's return will coincide with its partnership with Red Bull in Formula 1.
FORD Executive Chair William Clay Ford Jr. talks with media after showing off some of Ford s products in the Detroit Auto Show at Huntington Place in Detroit.
“We are entering a new era for performance and racing at Ford. You can see it from what we’re doing on-road and off-road,” said Bill Ford, the executive chairman of Ford. “When we race, we race to win. And there is no track or race that means more to our history than Le Mans.” Ford pulled out of competition after 1969 but celebrated the 50th anniversary of its first Le Mans victory with a return to the endurance event in 2016 in the GTLM class. A team fielded by Chip Ganassi Racing marked the return with a class victory. The Ford Mustang GT3 has most recently been competing at Le Mans as a customer car.
