Wadoux to compete in SUPER GT next year with Ferrari 296 GT3
French racing driver Lilou Wadoux, who recently achieved a class victory in the World Endurance Championship, will be joining the GT300 class of the SUPER GT series next year. She will be driving a Ferrari 296 GT3 under the PONOS Racing team alongside Japanese racing veteran Kei Cozzolino. Wadoux’s move to SUPER GT comes as a surprise, as many expected her to continue in the WEC for another season. However, she was not included in AF Corse’s driver line-up for the LMGT3 class in 2024, despite being part of Ferrari’s factory GT roster. It remains uncertain if Wadoux will participate in any other championships alongside SUPER GT. The team’s name, PONOS Racing, pays tribute to the video game company owned by Yorikatsu Tsujiko, the team’s general director. Ferrari will be returning to the SUPER GT series with the PONOS entry, after their absence since 2022 when CarGuy Racing ended their collaboration with Pacific Racing. Additionally, the 2024 season will mark the debut of the new Ferrari 296 in SUPER GT, as CarGuy Racing/Pacific Racing previously competed with the older 488 GT3.
