Ferrari 296 GT3 set to join SUPER GT grid in 2024
The Prancing Horse, Ferrari, is no longer on the GT300 class entry list after Pacific Racing and CarGuy Racing ended their collaboration, leading Pacific Racing to switch to the Mercedes-AMG GT3. However, the new Ferrari 296 GT3, built by ORECA, has had successful debuts in various sportscar series and will be used in SUPER GT next season. Team LeMans and Gainer are the two teams believed to have plans to run the Ferrari. Team LeMans, currently running the Audi R8 LMS GT3, has been considering a model change and is a logical candidate to run the new Ferrari. Gainer, a Nissan customer outfit, is planning to enter the 2024 campaign with two new cars, one of which is expected to be the Ferrari with backing from PONOS, while the other is rumored to be a new Nissan Z built to GTA-GT300 rules. Aston Martin is also set to return to SUPER GT in 2024 after a three-season absence, with D’station Racing likely to use Aston Martin machinery and Dunlop tires. Dunlop’s loss of entries from Gainer and Shade Racing will be partly offset by the arrival of D’station. NISMO’s expected tie-up with Bridgestone in GT500 may also have implications for the GT300 class, as Apr’s #31 Lexus LC500h is tipped to switch tire brands, although the brand it will use remains unclear.
