Watched the race in it's entirety, so happy for Klaus Abbelen and his team, they really deserve this win

Any Ferrari that wins any race will always be special.

All the BOP talk aside, it is a very decent car. I am very happy for Frikadelli to claim their first victory.

And thanks for mentioning the dampers, I was really wondering, why the car was bouncing so much in the quick righthanders. No one talked about that in the German stream.

I just hope this isn't the beginning of spiralling costs in GT3 class racing. The class was created to keep costs under control. I know Ferrari GT3 cars have always been generally more expensive than what other manufacturers offer to customer teams though.

Delighted for Frikadelli on the win anyway, that was a nice feel good moment.

Cool to see other than "only" German manufactures to win the 24h race. Hope to see a McLaren again :)

Looked strong all race. Great for us Ferrari fans

People crying about BoP forget that Ferrari won last month's race at the Nurburgring, and got slowed down after that.

The Japanese like to call this type of optimization "Kaizen"
I wasn't particularly impressed with "the new V6 car" but after this video, and watching NBR24, I have a newfound respect for it.

[PwnGamers]

Great Video. Love the new Ferrari, drives fast and smooth, looks beautiful and sounds amazing. That and the fact that Frikadelli won their first race on my first ever visit to the 24h race at the Nordschleife makes it just so wonderful for me personally :) I am happy!

Kiwi Ferrari fan here. I was beaming with pride for Earl. So stoked you've done this video. Cherry on top of the win.

car looks really good with that liviery, also holycrap i din't know it was that much more expensive than other gt3 cars.

[chrisdimis]

Watched the entire 24h Nurburgring Race. Stayed up all night. The competition was really high. But the 296 something else. At some point they couldn't pursue that car anymore.

[FTributo]

The Viper was unfairly opposed by those manufacturers who were tired of looking at its tailights. Anyway, congrats to Ferrari!

[fusionsniping]

Honestly think they have got a strong general package, making the car be long term viable on a track like the nbr24h has helped alot, just having usability and driveability goes a long way in this race, the modularity and ease of use, oreca being rather experienced at all this, did feel the rear wing was quite thin and lacking in endplate size though as a whole, obviously bop could have been favourable, but it wasn't as if it dropped the rest like they weren't even there, they have drivers competing at incredible level and everything so, and this race is just like no other, there's so many things that go into it that saying it's mostly bop would be a bit extreme.

Ferrari has seriously comes a long way from a beauty queen that lives in a garage to one that is reliable enough to tackle a 24hr race!

[aojracing]

Was expecting clickbait, pleasantly surprised. People are quick to cry BoP when anyone wins, but there are still GT3 cars that are just better platforms than others, and the 296 is off to a great start.

[horsepower]

The Ferrari 296 GT3 is absolutely amazing. And to think that it's a brand new GT3 car with still so much potential for developing. Ferrari has really done an exceptional work creating this beautiful racing beast. It will be interesting to see how this car evolves in the future and can it rival or even better the huge success of the 488.

[Pandamasque]

Their tire puncture resulted in bodywork damage at the rear. I was super impressed by the quick change of the entire rear assembly complete with the diffuser and even exhausts! All done within seconds! Everything lined-up perfectly with no need for wriggling about or banging on things. The procedure seemed easier than even on LMP1 cars. With any other car that puncture could have cost them the victory.

I've been following N24 since 2008 and each year I was rooting for someone to break the hegemony of German marques. To see Frikadelli do it was a special moment indeed. ♥

[blanchimont]

It's even great in I know its a publicly available sim, but they used real data when developing the car for the sim, so they seem to be onto something with the 296

[FaithlessEmoRacing]

I think their win had a lot to do with that replaceable rear end. Other cars got punctures and were out of the contention for the win. They managed to service the car in the normal pit stop time!!
