Ferrari is considering supplying its 499P Le Mans Hypercar to a customer team in the World Endurance Championship as early as 2024.
Antonello Coletta, the boss of Ferrari's sportscar programme, stated that the Italian manufacturer is now in a position to expand its WEC hypercar programme beyond its two factory cars. Such an effort would receive technical support from Ferrari, which has repeatedly stated that the 499P is too complicated to run completely independent of the factory. If the plan comes to fruition it would make Ferrari the first LMH marque to make its car available to a privateer team.
AF Corse is already well versed with the 499P LMH car, making it the ideal team to run a customer car programme. Asked if AF Corse could be behind the planned customer car effort, Coletta said: 'Depends on the circumstance. If AF Corse have a budget it should be the idea to manage it with AF Corse. 'In any case we need to manage all the engine parts and all the electronic parts but this is normal like in F1 like with a customer team.
