Both Oreca and Ferrari need no introduction. As we had the opportunity to learn in official form a little while ago with a press release issued by the Maranello house. the Prancing Horse and the French company will work in unison for the construction of a new GT3 destined to compete soon in endurance races and in the major world championships, succeeding the extraordinary 488.
To let us explain the background and the sensations experienced by Oreca, we directly interviewed the President and founder of the company, Hugues de Chaunac. Class ’46, French born in Baden-Baden, de Chaunac in the course of his adventure created the Organization Exploitation Competition Automobile, soon becoming a reference player with an important number of successes and triumphs, both among the GTs – for example the Viper GTS-R – as much as in prototypes. And it is incredible to see the real emotion in his eyes when it comes to the agreement signed with Ferrari for the creation of the new GT3 of the Prancing Horse.
“Everyone at Oreca is proud to have been chosen by Ferrari. Ferrari is a legend, and when a legend chooses you you feel something special. We are building the future together with them, a future that I hope will be very long. Fingers crossed, but I’m sure we will do great things together, “reveals de Chaunac in an exclusive interview with Motorsport.com.
“Working with Ferrari is a source of pride. When you are little you have dreams, and working with the Red is certainly one of them. The way we work together is very interesting, we are involved in the working group of Ferdinando Cannizzo’s engineers. good and we learned a lot from them. We can bring the experience gained by Oreca in years of racing in different sectors and categories, from prototypes to GT. Between their team and ours a great car can be born “.
“I think Oreca can learn a lot from Ferrari. The GT3 program is something very important to us. We have an excellent experience from the Viper, while in prototypes we can have our say in LMP2. We know what teams and drivers expect from a racing car, this is undoubtedly one of our strengths. Ferrari has an incredible wealth of experience: every day we learn something from them, and it all makes us stronger “, concludes de Chaunac.
