The Blue Oval brand will field a full factory FIA WEC team to try and capture its first outright win in nearly six decades.

In the year that will mark six decades since Dan Gurney and AJ Foyt won the race in a GT40 Mk. IV, Ford is headed back to the world's greatest sports car race. Not just with a GT car, but with an LMDh-spec prototype, competing in the top class for the overall win.

Ford is gearing up to take on the likes of Cadillac, Ferrari, and Porsche in the FIA World Endurance Championship, whose blue-ribbon race is Le Mans.
