Ferrari intends to race the 499P in the Asian Le Mans Series

I feel that the plan to open the Asian Le Mans Series (which runs over the winter) to the hypercar class this year has been underrated so far, but I don’t think that will be the case anymore. After unveiling the 2026 car for the World Endurance Championship, Ferrari global head of endurance racing Antonello Coletta said they intend to enter the Ferrari 499P — likely candidate for “best race car in the world” right now — in the 2026–2027 Asian Le Mans Series, too.

So far, the Peugeot 9X8 has been the only hypercar about which moves are being made, and don’t get me wrong, that’s a badass race car. But the Ferrari wears the crown.
