Ferrari clinched second place at the Lone Star Le Mans, sixth round of the FIA WEC 2025, with the 499P number 50 of Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen, and fifth with the other car of the official Ferrari – AF Corse team, the number 51 of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi.

Seventh place overall – and first in the category reserved for independent teams – for the 499P in Giallo Modena livery entrusted to Ferrari official Yifei Ye, with Robert Kubica and Phil Hanson: a result that allows AF Corse to celebrate in America the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams title. This is the eighth title conquered by AF Corse in the FIA WEC era, starting in 2012 and always with Ferrari cars, while Ye clinched the fifth international title of his motorsport career.

The 6 Hours at COTA allows the Prancing Horse to consolidate the lead in the World Manufacturers’ Championship and in the drivers’ standings, which now sees Pier Guidi-Calado-Giovinazzi first, ahead of Ye-Kubica-Hanson; fourth Fuoco-Molina-Nielsen.

The race. The rain influenced the race from the start – with the cars behind the Safety Car – and in particular during the first five hours, causing numerous interruptions from race direction. Ferrari was always among the frontrunners: Calado with the 499P number 51 took the lead in the second hour – a position also held for a long time by Giovinazzi and Pier Guidi –, ahead of Hanson in the number 83 car, while Nielsen with the number 50 remained in the top five.
The episode that slowed the 499P number 51 came less than two hours from the end, when Pier Guidi suffered a contact that caused the front-left tyre to puncture, forcing the team into a pit stop. The Italian driver returned to the track in 13th, beginning a fantastic comeback that brought him back into the leading positions, although no longer able to fight for the podium. A strong race also for crew number 50, with Nielsen, Fuoco and Molina on the podium, at the end of an event that recorded a total of 66,217 spectators in the stands.

499P number 83. In its second season in the top class of endurance racing, the team sealed a historic success thanks to the results obtained in the category – which saw AF Corse competing this year with one other rival. Ye-Kubica-Hanson leave Texas with a title that makes the 2025 season even more memorable, also considering the historic triumph at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, last June.

Numbers. A winning partnership between Ferrari and AF Corse which, in the FIA WEC – from 2012 to today – saw the team founded by Amato Ferrari achieve an overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (in 2025, with the car entered directly in the World Championship, number 83) and two successes as racing partner of the official Ferrari – AF Corse team (2023 and 2024). At Le Mans the list of triumphs also includes five class wins, four in LMGTE Pro in 2012 (458 Italia, Fisichella-Bruni-Vilander), 2014 (458 Italia, Bruni-Fisichella-Vilander), 2019 (488 GTE, Calado-Pier Guidi-Serra), 2021 (Calado-Pier Guidi-Ledogar), and one in LMGTE Am in 2021 (488 GTE, Nielsen-Perrodo-Rovera).

To these must be added seven class titles in the FIA WEC with GT cars (LMGTE Pro: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017; LMGTE Am: 2016, 2019/20, 2021) plus the one obtained in 2025 with the Ferrari Hypercar, bringing the total to eight.

Standings. In the World Manufacturers’ Championship Ferrari is first with 203 points. In the drivers’ standings, as mentioned, Pier Guidi-Calado-Giovinazzi lead with 115 points; second Ye-Kubica-Hanson with 100 points, fourth Fuoco-Molina-Nielsen on 75 points.
AF Corse wins the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams with mathematical certainty.

Championship. The FIA World Endurance Championship will be back under the spotlight on the weekend of 28 September with the 6 Hours of Fuji (Japan), before the closing round of the season in Bahrain, on 8 November.
