Ferrari has been testing with two of its 499P Le Mans Hypercars early on in its development programme 🧪 Here's the latest on Ferrari's 2023 WEC challenger ⬇️
The Italian manufacturer devised a test strategy in which it focused on reliability with one car and performance with the other as it strived to catch up on the competitors it will face in the World Endurance Championship’s Hypercar class next year.
“The other one we have is to put to mileage on all the parts to understand where are the major issues we have to solve. Porsche, meanwhile, didn’t have a second 963 LMDh prototype up and running until six months into a development programme that started a full year ahead of its scheduled race debut at the Daytona 24 Hours IMSA SportsCar Championship season-opener next January., ran for the first time on 6 July at the Fiorano test track.
Sources have revealed Ferrari hasn’t had two cars at all the tests and has sometimes preferred to run one on the rig rather than on the track. Cannizzo didn’t hide the fact that the 499P has encountered problems during testing.
