Le Mans: Automakers 'seize global exposure' and younger buyers with endurance racing

After a 50-year absence, Le Mans legend Ferrari (RACE) returned to the race and stunned with an overall win in the top-flight prototype “hypercar” class over the dominant Toyota Gazoo Racing team (TM), a remarkable accomplishment given Toyota had won the overall title the past 5 years in a row, and figured to have another dominant car. Global brands like Porsche, Stellantis’s Peugeot (STLA), and GM’s Cadillac also returned after an absence, with Cadillac snagging 3rd place on the podium (as well as a solid 4th place with its 2nd car).
