Ford returned to Mans for a lump sum victory with LMDH bid

The Ford will return to men’s 24 hours to fight for the overall victory as a part of the World Dheeraj Championship campaign with an LMDH prototype in 2027.

American veteran has announced that he will try to repeat his victory at French Enduro in French Enduro in 1966, ’69 with Ford MKII, MKIV and GT40 with C111982 C11 after C100 Group C car in 1982 -There will be a factor attack.

Its entry into the Hypercar class of WEC came out as part of a motorcystport launch event in Charlotte, Northern Carolina on Thursday evening by Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company.

The great-granddaughter of the company’s founder Henry Ford referred to the Mark’s 1960s successes as well as in 2016 with Ford GT on the 50th anniversary of his first lump sum victory in the announcement of its GTE Pro Triumph.

“There is no track or race that is more than the Mains for our history,” he said.

“This is where we took Ferrari and won in the 1960s and this is where we returned after 50 years and shocked the world and defeated Ferrari again.

“I am thrilled that we are going back to Le Mans and competing at the highest level of endurance racing.

“We are ready to challenge the world once again, and go like hell! When we run, we run to win. ,

The LMDH program will increase the representation of Ford at WEC in which it is already running with a pair of Mustang GT3s being run by the proton competition team in LMGT3.

It will also expand its appearance at the highest level of motorsport.

Ford’s hypercar entry will come one year after returning to Formula 1 in partnership with Red Bull Racing, which means that Blue Oval will be shown in the top class of ’27 from ’27 from’ 27 FIAs World Championships.

LMDH and F1 projects attended their long engagement at the World Rally Championship with M-Sport and World Rally-Rid Championships, which joined the British organization this year.

Ford did not give any details of his lacquer attack, except that it would be with an LMDH instead of a Le Mans Hypercar and it would attempts to perform Ford performance, its high performance and a complete-untouchability managed by the motorsport division.

There was no mention of the IMSA Sportscar Championship, for which its LMDH GTP will be eligible in the class.

A spokesperson for the Ford demonstration said that by announcing the WEC, it is allowed to emphasize on the return of the Mans, which is as a contender for a lump sum victory.

However, it can be expected that Ford will join the IMSA GTP grid with its new LMDH.

Ford has more recent history of competition for a lump sum honor with prototype machinery in Europe or globally in North America.

It was a race winner at the IMSA GT Championship with his front Ford Mustang GTP during the 1980s’s first half before replacing the car with a more traditional GTP of 1985-86.

In 2014, Ford entered the Grand-AM Detona Prototype rank as an engine supplier with Rosha/Yetts-Developed Ecobost Twin-Turbo V6, the next year, a chip Ganasi racing-ran relay next year won Deton .

IMSA boss John Dunan told Ford to join the rank of the series in a brief media address ahead of the previous weekend.

There was no mention that one of the licensed LMDH chassis suppliers would be working with the identity of the team with which he would be a partner or a driver.

Multimedic motorcysts will be a clear chassis partner given in view of their long -term relationships with Ford: it developed both the road and race versions of GT and the current GT3 car is the latest in the long line of racing mustangs which he designed and designed and has made.

The Canadian-facilitator organization is the chassis partner of Porsche on the 963 LMDH project and is not clear that this relationship allows it to work with another brand.

On returning to the top flight of sportscar racing, Ford’s statement said that more details will be shared later.

Le Mans organizers Automobile Club Day L’OUST and WEC welcomed the news from Ford, which means that from 2027, there will be minimum 10 manufacturers in Hypercar, which estimates that all current participants remain.

WEC boss Frederick Lakevian said: “Ford has been synonymous with success for both decades and off-track, and we are happy that the company has chosen WEC for its latest challenge.”
