Entrepreneur, investor, musician, and racing driver Carl Moon secured the first Ferrari Challenge podium of his career during the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race week at Circuit de la Sarthe, marking a significant milestone in his Ferrari Challenge career.

Competing against a highly experienced field on one of motorsport’s most iconic circuits, Moon delivered a composed and determined performance throughout the event. Starting from P10 on the grid, he steadily worked his way through the field, gaining positions through consistency, race management, and well-executed overtakes.

By the checkered flag, Moon had climbed five places to finish P5 on track. Following post-race reviews and penalties issued to two drivers ahead, the official classification was revised, promoting Moon to P3 and securing his first Ferrari Challenge podium finish.

The achievement came during one of the most prestigious weeks in international motorsport. Every year, Circuit de la Sarthe hosts the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans and attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators from around the globe. Competing on such a historic stage, Moon delivered what stands as his strongest Ferrari Challenge result to date.

The Le Mans podium continues an encouraging start to Moon’s Ferrari Challenge campaign. After six races, he has accumulated 24 championship points and currently sits among the Top 10 drivers in the standings. The result provides additional momentum as he continues gaining experience against some of the championship’s most established competitors.

Beyond motorsport, Moon has built an international profile through entrepreneurship, investing, digital media, and music. Through The Moon Show, he reaches an audience of more than five million followers across social media and has become one of the cryptocurrency industry’s most recognizable personalities. He has also continued pursuing his music career, recently releasing "Dragon," a project centered around themes of ambition, resilience, and personal growth.

Representing WEEX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, Moon continues to bridge the worlds of digital finance and professional motorsport. Alongside WEEX, he also brought attention to FostrAI, an artificial intelligence company focused on next-generation AI solutions, and KidsOR, a global children’s surgery charity.

Earlier this year, Moon supported KidsOR by funding a pediatric operating theatre project in Tanzania, helping expand access to life-changing surgical care for children in underserved communities.

Reflecting on the achievement, Moon said, “Le Mans is one of those places every racing driver dreams about. To compete here during my first Ferrari Challenge season was already incredibly special. Starting P10 and fighting my way to P5 against such a competitive field was a great feeling. When the final classification was confirmed and we secured P3, it made the result even more rewarding for the entire team. Standing on the podium at Le Mans is something I will never forget.”

With his first Ferrari Challenge podium now secured and valuable championship points added to his tally, Moon leaves Le Mans with growing momentum as his Ferrari Challenge season continues.
