Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti won the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans aboard their Ferrari 250P (picture-above). Despite good weather throughout the race, attrition was high, leaving only twelve classified finishers.

This was the first win for a mid- or rear-engined car, and the first all-Italian victory – with F1 drivers Ludovico Scarfiotti and Lorenzo Bandini winning in their Ferrari 250 P. In fact, Ferrari dominated the results list filling the first six places, and the winners’ margin of over 200 km (16 laps) was the biggest since 1927.
