FF Corse eyeing 2025 British GT title with Ferrari 296 GT3

FF Corse are thrilled to announce our plans to target the 2025 British GT Championship with an all-new Ferrari 296 GT3.

The 296, Ferrari’s latest GT3-spec racer, is currently expected to be the only one of its kind in UK competition should our entry be accepted by British GT organiser

Having secured victory at the Ferrari Challenge Finali Mondiali for the third time last year, we are positioning ourselves for the all out win on UK soil in 2025.

FF Corse, which boasts over 260 race wins in its 15 year history, has delivered an impressive 12 months of racing dominating an invitational entry in the GT Cup, as well as 6 race wins  in Ferrari Challenge Europe. Now, with the arrival of Ferrari’s latest model, it looks set to pose one of the most serious levels of competition in British GT next year, should its entry be accepted.

“The 296 GT3 is scheduled to arrive with us in September, when we will begin an extensive testing programme,” commented FF Corse CEO Anthony Cheshire.

“This is an exceptional model that is built to suit the needs of gentlemen and pro drivers, whilst also designed to win, so we expect a great deal of interest in our driver opportunities for the season ahead.

He added: “British GT represents the highest level of endurance motorsport in the UK, with so many supercar manufacturers represented on its grid and such a highly competitive pool of driving talent.

“We’ve enjoyed race wins in British GT before and have always kept one eye on the UK scene, despite our busy European schedule.

“The arrival of our Ferrari 296 GT3 gives us the perfect package with which to re-enter British GT - where we’re confident we’ll be challenging for race wins and the overall Championship.

“Alongside this, we’ll continue to look at opportunities in race programmes across Europe.”

The Ferrari 296 GT3 will be prepared at our Silverstone workshops from where much of our previous success with Ferraris has come.

Anthony continued: “With the 296 GT3, our association with the legendary Ferrari brand, plus our proven winning record on the track, we can provide a unique opportunity for an ambitious Pro-Am pairing.”

FF Corse also recently revealed the nine drivers it is supporting as part of its new GT Driver Academy – designed to nurture young talent specifically looking to pursue careers in GT and sportscar racing.

With an announcement due in the coming weeks regarding the teams 1st car, FF Corse are keen to field a multi car line up, and while the team has already had interest in drivers looking to firm up their 2015 plans, the team are keen to meet drivers or existing pairings looking at British GT for the coming season. With this in mind the team have arranged a sampler test day, which will take place at Donington Park on October 23rd 2014.

The event is aimed at drivers looking to make a decision for the racing plans for 2015 and is split between three drivers, or three existing driver pairings.
