The first two drivers have also been confirmed: the Italians Antonio Fuoco and Alessandro Pier Guidi, who will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year. Ferrari also promises to announce the composition of the remaining crews soon.
An important point is that the FIA selection committee has allowed the third Ferrari 499P sports prototype to participate in the WEC, which has now been assigned number 83. It is also known that one of the drivers who will pilot will be Robert Kubica.
Next year the WEC season will consist of eight stages, namely: there will be one more race than in 2023.
