Study on the technical, design and strategic reasons why Ford beat Ferrari in Le Mans 66 with the design of the Ford GT40 model

In the world of endurance racing, there is one that stands out above the rest and is considered the "queen", the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In this project I have studied the technical, strategic and design reasons that allowed Ford to end the Ferrari hegemony and win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, with the GT40 model, and how to extrapolate the history of 1966 for a team that wants to participate in current competitions. The first part of the project from which the second part is extracted, focused on the evolution of motorsports an how a motorsports team should be prepared budget. I first made a brief historical analysis to place the study in the time and situatio which the events took place, to understand why it was so important for Ford to win at Le Mans, what were the reasons that led him to participate in it and what provoked such a disproportionate rivalry between Once historically located, I analyzing the categories that are inv Ferrari cars that participated on it with respect to its 1964 predecessor. In the second part of the project 1966 to the present, dedicating a specific section to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As for the evolution of motorsports, I have studied the differences between the regulations, the vehicles and the technologies used in the past and the current ones. In order to extract what could be the implementation of a competition team, I have focused on different competitions such as Formula 1, e (WRC), in order to cover the main disciplines of motorsports. Finally, the study has had a total cost of just under 24.800€; obviously this cost is only from the theoretical study carried out and does not include the implementation neither the practical part of any of the section of the project
