Ford hopes this Hypercar will be its next Le Mans winner
摘要
福特本周在法国保罗·里卡德赛道完成了其全新未命名超级跑车的首次赛道测试，车手马特·坎贝尔和洛根·萨金特参与其中。福特曾于1966至1969年连续四年赢得勒芒24小时耐力赛总冠军，但此后未再登顶。1982年，福特曾以C100赛车重返顶级耐力赛，但因缺乏竞争力而终止项目。2016年，福特在GTE-Pro组别获得组别冠军。如今，随着世界耐力锦标赛超级跑车组别的热度
The car that Ford hopes will return it to overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans made its unofficial debut this week. Ford sent us some pictures of the still-unnamed car conducting its first track test at the colorful Paul Ricard circuit in Provence, France, where drivers Matt Campbell and Logan Sargeant started the hard work of making the car both fast and reliable.
Ford already has four overall wins at Le Mans, owning the top spot four years in a row. But the last of these wins came in 1969, when a privately entered—and at that point outdated—GT40 managed to beat Porsche's still-untamed 917 on the German car's debut. The company returned to top-level endurance racing in 1982 with the C100 during the early days of the Group C regulations, but the car was uncompetitive and unreliable, and the program soon ended.
In 2016, 50 years on from its first win, a class win in the GTE-Pro category added some more silverware to the corporate display cabinet. Now, the soaring popularity of the Hypercar category in the World Endurance Championship and at Le Mans has tempted it back to the fastest class.
