The second place went to Toyota number 7, followed by the other Ferrari 499P number 51, driven by Antonio Giovinazzi, James Calado, and Alessandro Pier Guidi.
Ferrari’s win at Le Mans highlights not only the technical and strategic superiority of the team but also enhances the prestige of the Italian brand in the world of endurance racing, making fans and enthusiasts worldwide proud.
