Ferrari to field 499P at forthcoming 1000 Miles of Sebring

Ferrari announced that it will debut the 499P Le Mans supercar at the upcoming 1000 Miles of Sebring.

The momentous occasion will mark the return of the Prancing Horse to the top-class endurance championship after fifty years at the opening event of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).

Per the Maranello-based brand, two race cars will be fielded in the endurance race. The #50 car will be shared by drivers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen.

Meanwhile, car #51 will be driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi.

The two cars already finished their time at the FIA WEC Prologue — a two-day practice session prior to the race this Friday.

Both cars are said to have run a total of 313 laps, gathering valuable data ahead of the race. The #51 car even set the fastest time on the track during day one of the “Prologue” while the #50 car encountered some issues on day two forcing it to retire.
