Ferrari again despite corvette charge

Ferrari made it three out of three in this year’s World Endurance Championship at Spa. The 499P Le Mans Hypercar was on top again. Just. This was a race that Alpine or BMW could potentially have won.

Matt James looks ahead to the twice-around-the-clock French classic this weekend and says Ferrari is in the boxed seats despite growing competition throughout 2025

The idea of a racing car competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans emblazoned with the Harrods department store livery on its flanks sounds somehow incongruous. Just as unlikely back in 1995 was the notion

Few racing cars divide opinion like the Audi R8. Some regard the German manufacturer’s LMP prototype as the all-time great to which its record attests. Others have labelled it a boring winning machine

There’s no getting away from it. Ferrari is favourite going into the Le Mans 24 Hours. No other conclusion can be reached based on its wins in the blue riband round of the World Endurance Championship

With the global sportscar scene buoyant right now and Le Mans upcoming, Matt James reflects back to a time when the World Sportscar Championship disappeared altogether against a highly political backdrop in 1991
