Ferrari has taken pole position for today's LeMans24 Hour race. Here's the inside line from Khurtizz on how the Prancing Horse topped the grid after a 50-year absence from endurance racing 🏁
► …50 years after it last competed in top tier
Porsche’s 963 made its Le Mans qualifying debut in fifth, underlining the Stuttgart outfit as third fastest – in qualifying trim at least. The leading Ferrari times were:‘We are delighted with this result, 50 years after our previous appearance in the top class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans,’ said Ferrari’s Antonello Coletta, global head of endurance and Corse Clienti. ‘The immense effort put in by everyone has allowed us to be where we are less than a year after our 499P’s first shakedown.
‘It was a qualifying lap, so you always push on the limit and try to find the small tenths around the track,’ he continued. ‘On my side, I really loved [the lap]; one of the best of my career so far… I don’t know where I can improve more. But it felt quite, quite good.’Thursday’s pole position continues a remarkable run of form for Ferrari’s new machine.
‘We knew from the making from the first race of the year that the car runs really fast,’ said Guidi. ‘But Toyota is still the benchmark of the championship. They are the experienced guys, they have everything under control [in terms of] the operation they are the reference right now. But in one lap, we could fight.
