The new livery of the Ferrari 499P
On the bodywork of Ferrari’s new workhorse we notice the characteristic red color, classic of the Italian symbol, and yellow. These two colors emphasize the sculptural and dynamic lines of the car, still celebrating the results of the old 312 PB, the last prototype that competed in the ’73 championship. They developed the Rosso Racing, dominant color of the livery, specifically for the new racing season, showing us an intense and deep tone. Red matches the Modena yellow, which was already present on the 2023 livery. They made the new version shiny to better adapt the visibility needs when the light is poor or in night races. They revised the color composition of the two Ferrari 499P n°50 and 51 to further enhance the design and three-dimensionality of the new car. Modena Yellow envelops the passenger compartment more, while the new lines and graphic systems emphasize dynamism and speed.
The Ferrari team will present the No. 50 to the drivers of the previous season, i.e Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina e Nicklas Nielsen. As for n° 51, they will present this to Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado e Antonio Giovinazzi. The 2024 World Endurance Championship gets off to a great start: for the first time the Lusail International Circuit in Qatar will host the Prologue on February 24th and 25th, while the 1812 Km from Qatar on March 2.
