The 24 Hours of Le Mans is important to Ford. Its consecutive overall victories there from 1966-1969 are the stuff of legend, and a great source of pride for Ford to this day. In 2027, Ford will look to repeat the feat. At a Thursday event in Charlotte, North Carolina, Ford announced that it's building a car to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in 2027.
