The history of red at the 24 Hours of Le Mans is closely linked to the Ferrari brand. Legend has it that it was Enzo Ferrari himself who chose this color for his racing cars.

At the time, in the 1920s-1930s, Italian racing cars were mainly sporting national colors, namely red for Italy. However, most German teams raced in white, like Mercedes, and British teams in green or blue.

As motor racing became more popular, national colors became less common. But Ferrari continued to use red for its racing cars, helping to associate this iconic color with the brand.

The link between Ferrari red and the 24 Hours of Le Mans has grown stronger over the decades due to Ferrari's iconic performances on this circuit. Ferrari's red cars have scored many memorable victories and left an indelible mark on the history of this legendary race
