The Last Ferrari to Ever Win the 24 hours of LeMans
The number 21 Ferrari 250 LM had all odds against it at the 1965 Le Mans race. The first of the many was with FIA regulations. The Ferrari 250 LM wanted to compete in the Group 3 GT class of Le Mans, but the FIA wasn’t convinced with Enzo Ferrari being able to sell at least 100 examples of 250 LM to customers.
As a result it had to compete above its weight class in the Le Mans Prototype category. In what can be best described as a splendid display of grit and sheer perseverance, the Ferrari 250 LM won the 1965 season of Le Mans against the likes of proper LMP1 cars. It’s one thing to punch above your weight class, but to bring home the victory doing it is something extraordinary. This would also be Ferrari’s last victory at the legendary Le Mans.
