Ford adds second LMDh prototype to WEC testing programme
Ford is expanding its World Endurance Championship testing effort by running a second LMDh car. The additional prototype, which has not yet been named, follows a testing approach used by Ferrari. It will join the programme as Ford continues preparing for WEC competition.
Ford’s World Endurance Championship test programme is growing to include another LMDh prototype. The second car remains unnamed. It mirrors a testing route Ferrari has taken. The prototype will be added while Ford keeps building toward WEC competition. This fits the wider LMDh development phase, in which manufacturers evaluate cars before racing, though no further details are provided.
The addition could affect endurance racing fans, Ford’s motorsport personnel, rival teams, and event organizers by raising interest in WEC prototype testing. It may increase attention on Ford’s preparations and on LMDh entries generally. For spectators and media, more testing activity could mean more opportunities to follow the programme, while competitors may face added scrutiny. Any broader social impact would likely remain limited to the motorsport community and its audiences.
