Ferrari 499P LMH Testing at Imola ahead of the 2024 WEC Italian round!

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

Thanks for posting. I'm addicted to Hypercar now.

[@johnsullivan937]

Same, I've never followed a motorsports series so closely in my life. Sro gt racing was sort of like the gateway drug for me starting around 2018, then hypercar kicked off and it was a whole other level.

[@purwantiallan5089]

As a longtime diehard fan of LoveLive and Nijigasaki, those Hypercars and LMGT3 cars looked so attractive in 2024.

[@Jhin224]

It made me love hybrid engine

[@19Bozzy92]

No problem at all!

[@DamarFadlan25]

​@@19Bozzy92499P Hypercar along with 917K is a legend car.

[@Dishanta_Goswami]

One of my favourite hypercars in terms of looks. Sound? Definitely Cadillac

[@ahnafhisanws6982]

Cadillac V8 roar is 🔥

[@joe125ful]

Yeah love cadi too.

[@johnsullivan937]

As far as the v6's go I've got to give it to the alpine, that thing SCREAMS. However overall I agree, its no contest that caddy sounds so good.

[@itsdokko2990]

that V8 is one mean sounding s.o.b

[@nokia.s3350]

Well, even i can admit that Cadillac's V8 is sexy 👍

[@johnsullivan937]

Man coming from the rolex 23:58 I'm beyond hyped for the WEC season to begin. I'm hoping now that most manufacturers have had over a year of racing and proper real world application testing, the competition will be a little more close for all 3 podium positions, not just the final 3rd place.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Hopefully this is the only ever time we see Rolex 23:58.45 at Daytona.

[@TheEarlofK]

I first went to Le Mans in 1979, long after Ferrari's heyday in Sportscar racing, and in all the years I went there, there was nothing as big as Ferrari's Prototype return in 2023, they raised its profile to a whole new level; if they never won it again it would still be huge, but winning it first time out has made it a must see event.

[@armorgeddon]

They won a BoP competition, which makes it irrelevant.

[@dannyvanzijl1975]

Nothing beats the 935

[@damienhh288]

Always a bliss to see Imola, such a beautiful track. As usual, thanks a lot for this amazing footage)

No worries! Thank you for watching, dude

[@JK-g62]

[@santi3991]

Gotta admit it looks like a new golden age for motorsports, WEC is amazing, Rally 1 cars are faster than Group B and many series around the world are incredible to watch! If only F1 got their things togheter we would be set.

[@SmallBlogV8]

If F1 doesn't get its [ahem] together then this is the ideal time for people disillusioned by the Liberty Media Circus to branch out into other disciplines and recognise that there's far, far more to motorsport. Hopefully people do.

[@fingerprints2983]

As long as Hypecars and GTPs continues to race separately in thier own series - few times in a calendar year - WEC and Imsa, - but not together in 20 race season all over the world. This 'new golden age' looks only good on paper.

[@dinonuggie1908]

Maybe 2025 will be a better year for F1

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@fingerprints29832024 WEC and IMSA definitely for me are "Endurance True Golden Year".

[@thereal_bio]

Actually Rally1 era is one of the worst for WRC: 2 and a half manufacturers involved, fragile cars, very few participants, Toyota dominates and M Sport is just there to make number this year.. Yeah they’re pretty fast, but costs a lot. If LMH/LMDh teach one thing, is that pure performance is not essential for a technical regulation, to be great.

[@morturiom9651]

amazing looking car, shame it doesn't have a NA V12 or something

[@RedPetrol76]

V12 is a very long engine, as the engine is a fully stressed member, it wouldn't make the chassis as stiff as it is with relatively short V6 turbo. The same reason why V12 was outphased from F1 during the 90's, V10 made a better compromise being almost as throttle responsive but without sacrificing that level of twist resistance engineers wanted

[@spikespeak918]

Ok it's the worst sounding V6 in Hypercar but damn the car is so beautiful, I don't care it's not loud just it is beautiful

[@kakahuete9656]

It's the same with the 296GT3, such a beautiful car, but what a waste from the sound, the 458 miss so much man..

[@GT_Avalanche]

@@kakahuete9656 Yeah the stealthy sound of the ferrari’s TT-V6 really does made the 296GT3 like a fish out of water, but the 499P on the other hand…the sounds fits perfectly with the spaceship-like prototype aesthetics. But still, so far it’s a competitive engine tho so props to them anyway.

[@joe125ful]

@@kakahuete9656 296GT3 is not that bad. Yeah 458GT3 was crazy!

[@gilbertosantos2806]

I don't think it's outright "bad", at high speeds and acceleration it sounds brutal. Though i imagine the road car version would be much more higher pitch.

[@elpatolucas22]

​@@kakahuete9656son carreras de autos tienen que ser rapidos nada mas, todo lo otro es secundario. Absurdo tener un auto que suena mucho y es terriblemente lento. El 296 gt3 ya gano las 24 hs de nurburgring y daytona. El 499p gano las 24 hs de le mans. Fin del tema!! Poco me importa si no suenan lindo quiero que ganen

[@taodej]

thank you for the test footage, great to see the cavallino on track again. Imola is such a great track for testing vantage points. love the tricolore in all the corner apex and run off into the straight. 🐎🐎🐎

[@19Bozzy92]

Always a pleasure! Thanks a lot for your comment

[@c0hqn]

the fact this is BY FAR the least good sound in hypercar this year is insane. shows how amazing this lineup is. this doesn’t even sound that bad tbh

[@jxswu3224]

I feel ppl complaining bit too much about sound, I like the variety, V6 turbos, V8 NA, V8 turbos, single turbos, twin turbos

[@MarcSob22]

Amazing machine!! It's a shame that the category is so limited in power!

[@maur7432]

Exactly, the GTP's at Daytona were only a fraction faster than the LMP2 cars.

[@kartaltoth684]

Aston demanding new regs and ACO playing ball because "holy fuck we have 1,5 makes onboard" moment. Original LMH regs had close to 800HP (and weren't overweight either).

[@joe125ful]

Yeah when cars like Nismo GTR LM with 1250Hp FF exist too its soo sad we cant see those cars anymore:(

[@Xiphactinus]

@@kartaltoth684I think they'll shave off some weight and allow more horsepower once manufacturer interest starts to fall.

[@fingerprints2983]

LOL, and to some people this 'new golden age' barely faster than LMP2

[@michaelmcdonald9847]

They really need to take this to Daytona 24 at some point….. it would look so perfect on the banked turns

[@CupsofCopus]

Great Video Bozzy! 😁 The 499P is just a pure work of Italian art and just behind the pug, is easily the best looking Hypercar in the field! Do you think they can challenge the Toyota's again not only for Le Mans honours but the WEC title as well? I think this is definitely becoming Ferrari's flagship Motorsport project to bring home the results! 🇮🇹

[@19Bozzy92]

Thanks a lot mate! Uhm really a nice question.. For sure they look like to be some serious opponents of Toyota but BoP will surely do a lot, as usual. Hope some of the other team/manufacturers will be closer this year, primarily Peugeot but also Porsche and Cadillac. We'll see ;)

I agree, its a shame ferrari went to a v6. It just doesnt sound good. It sounds better than the 296 I guess.. but this thing would sound so much better with a proper ferrari v8 or v12. I think I recall enzo ferrari saying a long time ago he would never give up the large 12 cyl engines, and that the heart of ferrari are the v12's, he even hated turbo's, he always wanted that raw screaming v12 sound in his top tier race cars. He'd be rolling in his grave if he could hear the vacuum cleaner sounding v6's they put in their race cars now..
