Team Achievements

AF Corse has an illustrious track record in the FIA World Endurance Championship: the team founded by Amato Ferrari has led the Italian manufacturer of the same name (although no relation) to victory in all the GT Constructor titles every year since the championship began in 2012, apart from 2015. The pinnacle of the team’s success was undoubtedly the trio Giancarlo Fisichella, Gianmaria Bruni (since moved to Porsche) and Toni Vilander winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2012 and 2014.

Team Goals for the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans

The fact that the two Ferrari 488s fielded by AF (which stands for Amato Ferrari) Corse at Le Mans this year only ranked fourth and eighth on the Test Day time sheets should be taken with a pinch of salt, as 12 of the 17 competitors clocked times within less than a second of each other. This year, Ferrari is going after the win that has eluded them for the last five years and is dead set on reclaiming its place on the top step of the podium, 70 years after their first overall victory at Le Mans.
