Ce lundi 17 ao\u00fbt \u00e9tait une date d’importance dans le projet LMDh de Ford Racing. Apr\u00e8s l’arriv\u00e9e il y a quelques semaines du premier bloc 5,4 litres V8 Coyote dans le Var dans les locaux d’Oreca, puis le montage du moteur et son d\u00e9marrage dans le ch\u00e2ssis fran\u00e7ais, l’Hypercar de la firme am\u00e9ricaine a pris pour la premi\u00e8re fois la piste sur le Paul Ricard.<\/p>\n

Par\u00e9e d’une livr\u00e9e camouflage m\u00e9langeant bleu et blanc, la LMDh Ford a boucl\u00e9 ses premiers tours pour en toute logique valider les syst\u00e8mes principaux, notamment en terme de gestion de l’hybridation.<\/p>\n

C\u00f4t\u00e9 a\u00e9ro, on retrouve un prototype aux formes g\u00e9n\u00e9rales bien connues. On peut toutefois noter une l\u00e8vre de capot avant assez arrondie et plongeante. Comme Ford l’indiquait en mai dernier, la carrosserie \u00e9tait termin\u00e9e \u00ab \u00e0 99% \u00bb et que de \u00ab petits ajustements mais rien de significatif, sauf probl\u00e8me majeur \u00bb seront r\u00e9alis\u00e9s avant les tests officiels en soufflerie.<\/p>\n

Ford Racing, qui doit d\u00e9buter en WEC et aux 24 Heures du Mans l’an prochain, apparait sur un calendrier bien plus resserr\u00e9 que celui de McLaren, autre constructeur \u00e0 revenir au plus haut niveau de l’Endurance en 2027.<\/p>\n

Si la marque anglaise roule depuis mai en association avec United Autosports, tout en utilisant Autotecnica en partenaire moteur, Ford r\u00e9alise son programme int\u00e9gralement en interne<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rappelons en outre que Logan Sargeant, Sebastian Priaulx et Mike Rockenfeller seront accompagn\u00e9s par Matt Campbell, Tom Blomqvist et Nick Yelloly, confirm\u00e9s en marge des derni\u00e8res 24 Heures du Mans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matt Campbell, Mike Rockenfeller et Tom Blomqvist \u00e9taient pr\u00e9sents sur place pour la phase initiale de rodage. Matt et Logan Sargeant ont pris le volant pour le premier essai sur circuit ce lundi sur la piste varoise. Tom Blomqvist devrait \u00e9galement tester la voiture dans les jours \u00e0 venir.<\/p>\n
