Look Smart 1:18 2023 Le Mans winning Ferrari 499P diecast model car review

The factory Ferrari team returned to the top class of the Le Mans 24 Hours last year for the first time in half a century.

The scarlet machines would line up on the front row of the grid on the Saturday afternoon, Antonio Fuoco having taken pole in the #50 499P from team-mate Alessandro Pier Guidi in the #51.

Both cars remained in contention for the majority of the race, until the #50 of Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen lost five laps with a technical issue that required a lengthy repair, ultimately finishing fifth.

The event would then distil into a duel between the #51 of Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi and the #8 Toyota of Buemi, Hartley and Hirakawa. The Ferrari only built up the sembling of a decent lead when Hirakawa spun and clanged the barrier with just under two hours to go. It was the Scuderia’s first overall Le Mans victory since 1965, 58 years previously.
