Ferrari 499P car n 51 - 24h Le Mans 2026 drivers Pier Guidi Calado Giovinazzi

Description

At the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans, the factory-entered #51 Ferrari AF Corse 499P Hypercar, driven by the championship-winning trio of Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi, endured a highly challenging race. The crew on-track progress was further complicated during the early hours when Pier Guidi lost control, leading to contact with the #9 Proton Competition entry that costed a drive-through penalty. While the car itself escaped major structural or mechanical damage and ran reliably through the night, the combination of the penalty and the inherent pace deficit kept them entirely out of the podium hunt. Despite these setbacks, the drivers pushed the 499P to a maximum top speed of 351.8 km/h and executed sharp pit strategies to climb back into the top tier. They finally crossed the finish line to secure a resilient 5th place overall, completing 381 laps to finish roughly two minutes and 22 seconds behind the winning Toyota.
