The Ferrari GT Competizione moved to Portimao looking for the warmth of Portugal to develop two new jewels: the Hypercar and the new 296 GT3. Three days of work scheduled for the GT and it is easy to predict that the same number of days have been carried out with the LMh, which is continuing its weaning on the track with tests that should have remained secret.
The Lusitanian track with its ups and downs is ideal for evaluating the behavior of a car in full development phase, useful for testing the reliability values and finding out if the tires work in the right window of use to express their full potential.
The Hypercar, after Fiorano’s debut on 6 July, toured in Imola in the middle of August and then its traces were lost, even if the activity on the track was intensified to discover the criticalities of a project that introduces some innovations that characterize the Maranello prototype destined to race in the WEC next year, returning to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans aiming for the overall classification, fifty years after the last appearance.
Antonello Coletta’s staff tried to keep the car away from prying eyes with the latest developments, although some images taken from far away appeared on social media, while Daniel Serra was the driver who was entrusted with the commissioning work. to the point of the 296 GT3.
If the Brazilian was absorbed by the new Gran Turismo, it is easy to think that the other drivers of the team have alternated in the Hypercar’s cockpit, even if from Maranello for now they keep the strictest secrecy, admitting only the commitment of the 296 GT3.
