Kevin Turner hosts the latest episode of the Autosport Podcast alongside Gary Watkins as together, they review the big news coming out of the World Endurance Championship as Ford announced a return to Le Mans for 2027.
Together, Kev and Gaz ask why the car is built for the WEC regulations and not their North American counterparts with IMSA, as well as why Ford has decided to pull the trigger on a prototype return now.
There's also a look back at Ford's history of Le Mans participation, including the now-famous GT dynasty of the 1960s to the little-known C100 project of the 1980s. And finally, could McLaren be joining the WEC grid soon?
