The inaugural appearance of the 499P on Asian soil takes centre stage in the latest episode of “The Red Line”, the series unveiling the behind-the-scenes narrative of the Ferrari - AF Corse team’s participation in FIA WEC events. In the evocative setting of the 6 Hours of Fuji, the sixth round of the 2023 world championship season, the cameras revisit the exploits of Fuoco-Molina-Nielsen, who secured a fourth-place finish in the Hypercar number 50, and teammates Pier Guidi-Calado-Giovinazzi in the number 51 car, who clinched fifth spot. They star in the latest episode available on the “Ferrari” YouTube channel.
Colourful places, situations and emotions are interwoven into the story’s images, giving viewers the opportunity to relive the event from an unprecedented perspective. From the unmistakable silhouette of the best-known and most painted volcano in the land of the rising sun to the cartoons dedicated to the 499P drivers – transformed into fun Manga-style caricatures; and from the adrenaline of the tests, held on a rain-soaked track – to the drama of a difficult race, “The Red Line” shines a spotlight behind the scenes of a race that marked the Italian team’s debut in Japan.
