AF Corse trio Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman clinched victory at the Circuit of the Americas in the #83 Ferrari 499P – amazingly, the sixth different winners in six races this season! The yellow Ferrari eclipsed the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid of Toyota Gazoo Racing by a mere 1.7 seconds – the second-closest finish in the history of the WEC. The #50 Ferrari 499P of Ferrari AF Corse rounded out the podium, with Cadillac Racing’s #2 Cadillac V-Series.R and the #35 Alpine A424 of Alpine Endurance Racing completing the top five. The 2024 Lone Star Le Mans attracted 65,089 fans to the Austin, Texas, racetrack.

“I can’t describe what I am feeling,” said a thrilled Yifei Ye. “We began the weekend in the best possible way with a strong qualifying performance, and the race itself was flawless, with no mistakes from the team or us drivers. They are proud to be part of this extraordinary day for Ferrari, which has won in the FIA WEC and Formula One here in America and Italy. We have finally gained payback after the unfortunate race at Le Mans. This win repays us for so much effort and gives us confidence heading into the season’s final two races.”

Despite missing out on the win, Toyota now leads the provisional Championship standings, 11 points clear of Porsche and 19 ahead of Ferrari.
