I still remember the crowd roaring in the moment the Ferrari started again in the last pit stop. I was in the grandstand directly above the Ferrari pit and everyone was so relieved they managed to get going again. So far my favorite Le Mans memory.

don't forget a Ferrari car also won the 24hr of Nurburgring the same year.

You should mention that Ferrari also got a 24kg weight penalty. So the weight difference between them and Toyota is not that large. What really saved Ferrari's race in terms of regulation is that WEC allowed tyre warmer for leman. And Ferrari was struggling with tyre warming all season.

I really thought this was a video by a million+ subscribers channel

This was one of the most incredible days of my life. I've been a Ferrari fan my whole life, i don't remember the last time we won an f1 title because I was only 3 so I'd only experience a few victories. Watching during the night the ferrari leading and then going to bed for a few hours wondering if we would still be leading when I woke up was so tense. That last pit stop was so nerve-wracking to watch. But to see the beautiful 499P cross the line to win was the most unbelievable feeling.

Wow the only car in the 2023 grid that looked and sounded beautiful. FORZA FERRARI SEMPRE!!

Funny Enough that was THEIR FIRST RACE WIN in LEMANS Since 1965 and FIRST WIN in 499P From Car 51 As Well. I Have Seen the Race which is incredibly memorable. What a Race That Was

This is one of the most FERRARI things ever

I damn nearly broke one of fingers on that last pit stop after hitting the table.

So basically Toyota had the best car of any of the teams despite using the same parameters, but FIA swooped in last second and made them put a 100 pounds of weight in it for no reason other than developing the best car?... Thats pretty stupid if you ask me

What a race, I was glued to the live telecast and have watched the replay a good 4-5 times. I think a fairytale Ferrari return and win was the best possible outcome for the WEC and brought a lot more attention, coverage and interest in the race and championship. Toyota were valiant in defeat and the constant lead changes throughout the race made it such a gripping race. Great video mate!

i found this video randomly on my for you page. so here's hoping the algorithm gods shine upon you and give you that beautiful 6 digit view count and more for this fabulous video

Wow ... Forza Ferrari... 🔥🔥🔥

Wow, really high quality video form a small creator. Keep going man💪

Still a bit wild that with the right amount of money, you can get the exact same car in your garage

I liked that cinematic-like bit in the end. Something to be kept in mind is that despite the BoP intervention, Toyota Gazoo Racing still put up one hell of a fight against the Ferrari AF Corse. Which shows the testament of their Le Mans experience of trials of errors and close calls, and eventual victories starting from 2018 since the 80s. Much appreciation for Peugeot as well for their everything from the car alone, to their potential of winning. With all being said, I hope the BoP will try to be consistent to their fairest so that even the starting-to-age Toyota will still be fresh for the fight with reigning Le Mans winner - Ferrari. Couldn't think of Le Mans without Toyota in the recent years, since Nissan and Mazda are just.. at their thing.

Why are u underrated? Great video tho 🎉

Great storytelling, I loved it

Shocked you’ve got such a small amount of subscribers considering the quality of this video. Brilliant stuff, just getting into WEC and catching up on last year so this kept me glued 😂

a very well made video, you deserve to go big !

I love your audio. It sounds so clear

Few days before race new rules of adding weight to penalize Toyota is indeed a "miracle".

Damn what a beautifully crafted and narrated video, thank you.

This is the first of your pieces I’ve seen and I’ve got to say well done!

Congratulations, awesome summary! I am a die-hard Porsche fan, so this was a very bitter pill :) but the Ferrari 499P is a truly great, beautiful machine. Greetings to Ferrari for the amazing win at Le Mans and also at the 24h of Nurburgring in 2023!

Amazing quality work with the presentation.

You got it wrong. Ferrari left lemans because they didn’t have enough money to support both the lemans scuderia and the formula 1 scuderia so enzo decided to focus their effort on the formila 1 team and left the 24h series, i think that since then ferrari became the most successful f1 team in history it was the right choice

Great video, dude! Keep it up. You’ll blow up in no time.👍👍

You are underrated. Keep doing what you do because this content is amazing. Editing style and narrative choices were great. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Subbed

Perfect video bro i just shed tears of joy to see ferrari winning again

Great video man, keep up with the good work ✌🏻

You also forgot to mention one of the keys to their success: AF Corse. Yes, it was a Ferrari car, but the team running it wasn't one necessarily built from scratch by Ferrari. AF Corse has been a loyal partner of Ferrari's for years through their GT program, and with around 10+ years of experience running at Le Mans and the WEC, it was a logical decision to have them run the Hypercar program (hence saving them a "couple of seasons" worth of trying to understand how the whole shebang works in the WEC).

high quality and underrated video

Ferrari Win At Le Mans and Ending Red Bull's winning Streak saved their Reputation

I still feel sorry for Charles Leclerc: Imagine going to watch the 24h of Le Mans, probably get some VIP behind the scenes access due to your connections with Ferrari, only to see the AF Corse team do everything right. And then you need to go back to the clowns at the Scuderia to prepare for yet another weekend of "El Plan"

brooo. Such a great video. I really thought this channel must have 1mil+ subs. Keep up the great work.

well done man, high quality video

Cannot wait to be at my first Le Mans in June ❤

I love that they introduced a regulation to help Ferrari 😂

seems like next Le Mans going to be more exciting~

Well done ! Great vid

Very impressive narration skills man, truly made this video feel top notch!

But Ferrari beat Ford at home in Daytona in a 1.2 and 3. The film Ford Ferrari does not say this.

As a professional ferrari hater with a ph.d in hating ferrari from the University of Brazilian F1 Drivers, I must admit I felt emotional seeing them win le mans and was almost crying! Great job ferrari!

this needs to be a movie

Great vid you earned a subbed 👍

Such good production quality

This should be a movie. A sequel to Ford vs Ferrari

I waited my whole life to see Ferrari battle the best at Le Mans. It was more magical than a movie. When it finally started again.. ahhh ❤.

0:35 While they might not have won at Le Mans, after beaten there by Ford in 1966 they went and beat Ford on their home turf in 1967 Daytona with a legendary 1-2-3 finish.

This is a pretty damn dramatic story. Was it ever explained what caused the Ferrari's unreliable start problem?

I had never watched LeMans before. I decided to watch maybe a couple of hours....19 hours later I was still watching.

NASCAR was still the biggest story from this race, Ferrari always loses to American v8’s

incredible quality, unbelievably good video

The team and car was amazing but I feel like something that went under the radar was Pier Guidi's rapid stints in the morning. His was one of the greatest drives I've ever seen in any category.

Great video 🤙

We can thank the F1 budget cap for giving Ferrari the funds for this car.

You get a sub, excellent video!

They should make a movie about this

Great vid! But I feel there are many more interesting stories out of this race!

this video is AMAZING... It feels like a fricking netflix documentary, you deserve hundreds of thousands of likes!

Surprisingly rare ferrari W worthwhile. No fixing. No friends in fia. Just a win. Good job red horsies. :)

And i am a Ferrari fan but only when they win fair play

👏👏👏 superbe vidéo, elle m'a donnée les frissons

Great video! Story told better than any based on facts movie

They never say FORD beat them 3 years with Ford GT40

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me it looks like a Cylon attack fighter from BSG

i was at le mans 100 and i also remember the Ferrari starting

absolutely a banger of a video

Well made!

Now do the same in f1

Well deserved win. Forza!

By implementing a late BOP rule it is not an equalizer..... it's a scheme to let a specific car/team win

Yeah that was Epic

Love it!

could've atleast add 3 turbochargers

It was nice of the FIA to hobble the Toyota cars at the last moment so that Ferrari could have an unfair win.

The joke is that it was the only race they won. Yes, the most important one… but else? It didn’t matter

I hope Leclerc or Lewis can bring it home as well in 2025 onwards

The Toyota’s rear looks like the hauyra r

215mph not bad

"Entire reputation on the line" ¿

The weight rule did not seem very fair.

So you are telling me the fia had to cripple the toyota so ferrari had a chance? Jesus its the mazda 787b all over again. European cars can't keep up with the japanese, so just change the rules.

Le Mans does not have an 'N" sound when spoken. Get it right!

This video is extremely sensationalized at best and misinformed at worst. And I say this with hope that your future is bright! 0:00 “Ferrari had their entire reputation on the line”. No they didn’t. No one expected them to win on their return. 0:04 “For 58 long years they hadn’t won one of the most important races in history” You completely neglect Ferraris many manufacturer championships and NUMEROUS class wins at Le Mans since 1965. Since 1998: -1998 LMP1 class win (8th overall, LMGT1 was the top class) -2003 GTS class win (10th overall) -2008 GT2 class win -2009 GT2 class win -2012 LMGTE PRO class win -2014 LMGTE PRO class win -2015 LMGTE AM class win -2016 LMGTE AM class win -2017 LMGTE AM class win -2019 LMGTE AM class win -2021 LMGTE PRO class win -2021 LMGTE AM class win The world endurance championship debuted in 2012. Ferrari is the most successful GT constructer in the championships history. Winning 7 of 10 pro championships (2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2021 and 2022). While it’s true Ferrari had not won the top class since 1965. They have won. And they clearly know how to build an endurance race car and go endurance racing. 0:11 “It was a wound that deeply hurt Ferrari and that they desperately needed to heal” Was it really? 0:18 “They saw the opportunity to redeem themselves, rescue their legendary reputation as one of the most iconic names in automotive history” Are we talking about the same Ferrari. They are THE most iconic name in Motorsport history regardless of a 2023 Le Mans outright win. 0:41 “So they decided in 1973 to retire from racing at Le Mans completely” See above about recent success at Le Mans. 0:52 “Because of their retirement they now had to start from zero all the experience they had from their successful era in Le Mans was gone” May I re state: Since 2012 Ferrari has won 7 manufacturer championships in GTE PRO and 12 class wins at le mans since 1998. The team that ran the extremely successful GTE PRO program (AF Corse) would also be running the 499P. AF Corse know how to win endurance races 1:07 “It would take Ferrari a couple of seasons to compete at the same level as the rest of the field” Maybe you don’t quite understand balance of performance. But you should before making this claim. In theory the Ferrari and every other car in the field have an equal maximum performance. 1:14 “They only had one shot at [winning le mans]” No they didn’t. If they lost they’d come back next year and try again. Their participation in WEC did not hinge on a 2023 Le Mans victory. 1:00 “Their F1 experience would not help them” *1 minute later* 1:50 “They took some of the hybrid technology from their F1 car” At least don’t contradict yourself within 1 minute of making a claim. 2:48 “There was no time for testing” The 499P actually did extensive testing at Ferraris race track in Modena Italy and 2 days of testing at Monza. The Ferrari 499P did its first test on July 6 2022. Sebring was March 17 2023. 3:00 “[Toyota] had been dominating the 24h of Le Mans for 5 years” They had no real competition, so I wouldn’t say they dominated. But they did indeed win the past 5 races. 3:10 *Sebring recap* You misrepresented the Ferraris pace. The #50 Ferrari actually qualified first ahead of both Toyotas. They took some risks with strategy and some sloppy driving cost them any chance of a win. There was more to the race than just finishing 2 laps ahead. 3:16 *recap leading up to Le Mans* Ferrari had the edge over Toyota at Spa Francorchamps, but with a lap time deletion did not secure pole. However if not for Ferraris issues warming the tires, they were actually faster than Toyota. This gave a lot of Ferrari fans hope going into Le Mans at the next round. Especially because tire warmers would be allowed further reducing the advantage Toyota had. 3:39 Ah, you finally mentioned Balance of Performance. Good. But then you didn’t give the full story. The BoP was not supposed to change. Which makes your “miracle” an even bigger “miracle” Ferrari also gained weight as it was clear Ferrari AND Toyota were too fast. Toyota was assigned 37kg weight increase (bad) and an increase in stint energy by 4 mega joules (good). Vs Ferrari’s incense of 24kg and 2 mega joule incense in stint energy. So overall it was a weight increase over Ferrari of 13kg and 2 extra MJ per stint. 4:18 “And right from the start everyone feared that the poor strategies that their F1 team is famous for would replicate here in Le Mans” No one who watches endurance racing thought Ferrari would have bad strategy. This is AF Corse. They know what they were doing. 4:59 “both Ferraris had an intense moment with another team that had vast experience in this race. Porsche” You cannot claim Ferrari had zero experience at Le Mans when you claim that Porsche has vast experience. Yes Porsche competed and won Le Mans outright multiple times in the LMP1 era. But they had never raced a LMDh at Le Mans. And their most recent pro experience at Le Mans was in GTE PRO, the same as Ferrari. 5:18 RIP JOTA, you were doing amazing 6:10 great recap of this crash! It was a weird one Notes: Your race recap was really good! You probably should have talked about the Toyota brake issues. It was definitely a contributing factor in Ferrari pulling away. Overall: As someone who lives and breathes endurance racing I am so glad there is someone covering Le Mans and endurance racing as a whole. Your video was extremely well produced. This was one of the greatest 24h of Le Mans maybe ever and I’m glad people are telling the story. However I think you sensationalized things a lot. Most of my problems with the video were with setting the context. The race needed no sensationalizing (what a race). I think that including AF Corse and their recent success in GTE PRO with Ferrari is important to the story. Including the glimmers of hope with pole positions and a close performance at Spa. As well as an overall recap of the teams joining in 2022/2023 and the rules around LMH and LMDh. The fact that instead of beating 4 cars to victory you now needed to beat 18 cars. If you decide to do further WEC coverage I’d suggest taking it slower include a bit more context without sensationalizing the context. Not everything needs to be win or else face shame and never return. You earned a subscriber and I really look forward to your future work! Just let the stories breathe. Great work! My criticism comes from wanting you to succeed and reach the diehard endurance community.

Isn't that last minute rule to add weight to the best cars a bit unfair?

Added weight at the last minute… I wonder who asked for that?

What's the music that starts at 9:05?

Now F1 remains to get the tittle hopefully😢😢😭😭😭

Last year’s LeMans race felt corrupt. Matching Ferrari with the centennial using last minute BOP is just so perfect. Too perfect. Toyota got screwed.

Oh yes, when the FIA BoP'd Toyota to make it look like a "race"

nah in 2025 ford gonna make a hypercar and beat em all over again

A win is a win even though toyota had problems

But they handicapped the Toyotas.

Now with BoP 'winning' is like a participation award. Would Ford have spent millions to be the best if all that was needed was to ballast/restrict the Ferraris? Would Porsche have built their all-conquering prototypes? Audi...And how about F1, ballast and restrict the Ferraris, Mercs and Red Bulls of this Century? This is not racing nor striving to be the best of the best.

I don't want to know how much Ferrari paid others too let them win 😮😅... I don't say is not possible but we know how Schumacher era influenced what we call motor sport and is not good at all 😢😭

It was rigged for Ferrari, I don’t care because I won my bet but that win is bs

watching this happen in real time was absolutely electric. even if you aren’t a ferrari fan, you’re a ferrari fan.

toyota gr was dominating le mans for so many years n they only came up w a supra… what a waste
