This is very good news.
Maybe less for all those keyboard warriors on social media who dislike James Glickenhaus and are convinced that his cars won't run this season at all.
Both cars will race at Monza and Le Mans and one (#709) car runs at Portimao.

Love Glickenhaus' ambitions. They look very professional, no way they are just going to give up like SMP did.

What do people hate about Glickenhaus?
I've heard that a few times, but never heard the 'why'.

Some call him arrogant. Playing bluff poker. They can't stand his 'feud' against Aston Martin.

http://www.dailysportscar.com/2021/06/0 ... ramme.htmlAF Corse To Run Ferrari LMH Programme
Ferrari have officially announced a partnership with AF Corse to collaborate in the management of the team that will work alongside Competizioni GT in the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) programme from 2023 in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
The team will compete in the championship as “Ferrari – AF Corse”, continuing on a winning streak started in the FIA GT 2006 with the F430 GT2 that, in its debut season, produced the team, drivers and Constructors’ title.
Since the inception of the FIA WEC in 2012 Ferrari and AF Corse have collaborated on six team and drivers’ titles in the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am classes, five Constructors’ titles for Ferrari crowned with three triumphs at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Antonello Coletta, Head Of Ferrari Attavita Sportive GT: “Today’s announcement is an important step towards the debut of our LMH in the World Endurance Championship. We are happy to have a reliable partner like AF Corse with us for this project.
“Ferrari and AF Corse have enjoyed a solid relationship for a long time, as you can see in the FIA WEC, where we run our official 488 GTEs together with the Piacenza-based team.
“We look forward to continuing together on a journey as rewarding as the years of racing cooperation to date.”
Amato Ferrari – Owner AF Corse: “We are proud of this announcement. It is the crowning of a dream and recognition of the great effort made over the years.
“Our partnership with Ferrari is a winning one that began in 2006, and I am delighted to continue it in the LMH project. We have immediately kicked off with great enthusiasm aiming to raise the bar even further and to be ready for this new challenge.”

still sounds unreal that Ferrari will do a works effort to win Le Mans outright.

Ferrari is way more involved in AF Corse than they ever were in Risi Competizione.

https://www.bmwblog.com/2021/06/10/brea ... 23-season/BMW to Enter LMDh Prototype Racing for 2023 Season
Last month, rumors began to swirl about BMW potentially eyeing an entry back into Le Mans, racing in a new prototype hybrid hypercar class, LMDh. Now, though, it’s confirmed — BMW will be entering into the LMDh class with an all-new hybrid prototype endurace racer for the 2023 season.
BMW’s entry will add another German rival to both Audi and Porsche, who’ve already announced their entry into LMDh. Other automakers that have officially announced their participation are Toyota, Peugeot, and Ferrari, so it’s already a hotly contested class.
There was some initial speculation on what sort of prototype racer BMW would use and if it would be powered by either a hybrid or a hydrogen powertrain. However, we’ve received confirmation that it will be a hybrid, just like Porsche and Audi.
The first race of the 2023 season for BMW will be in Daytona, featuring this all-new car, but it’s going to be Le Mans where BMW will want to regain some old glory. BMW’s sole win at Le Mans came in 1999, with the iconic V12 LMR taking the victory. Since then, both of BMW’s rivals, Porsche and Audi, have had tremendous success at Le Mans, especially Audi in the prototype class. So it’s no surprise that BMW wants to jump back in with some new hybrid tech and try to regain some endurance racing-glory.
This new entry back into Le Mans will also help BMW’s road cars. Hybrid and electrification are the future of the automobile and nothing breeds automotive technological advancement like motorsport. All of the technical knowledge gleaned from the development of BMW’s LMDh car will eventually be applied to its road cars, making its hybrid tech better for the road.
We’re genuinely curious to see what sort of car is developed for this, as it’s been a very long time since we’ve seen a BMW race car that wasn’t based on an existing road car. It will be truly special to see a BMW prototype race car yet again.
