NEW CONTENT // Ferrari 296 GT3

Ferrari's latest foray into GT3 racing, the 296 GT3 made its debut in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and other major global championships in time for the 2023 season. It succeeds the 488 GT3 EVO that made its debut in 2020, and it was designed to build on that car's successes with easier setup modifications for the crew and significantly more downforce than its predecessor.

Powered by a V6 engine just like its road-going counterpart, the 296 GT3 is capable of producing 600 horsepower from its 2.9-liter powerplant. Four cars took to the track across IMSA's GTD and GTD Pro classes in its debut at the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the car took its first win in a twice-around-the-clock endurance race a few short months later at the Nürburgring.

Critique and complain, again and again. If you have feedback, take it to the forums and make it constructive. THANK YOU for another great content release -- SO much has been added in the last few years that it's incredible that the platform can keep updating. On first drives, this car feels like it will be fantastic, and I do hope it becomes the Ferrari Challenge car ASAP. Cheers!

Epic car. Just bought it. Car is on rails. Sound is awesome. Don't see what critique you could give it. Absolutely a purchase worth!

[dannygaron]

Bought, LOVE IT. It's a beast on Nords guys. You can really rip it. Hopefully they won't BOP it too soon.

I love this car. Just one thing to point out: the wiper is not visible when you drive it. Not that it matters that much anyways, but I just wanted to point it out. Nonetheless the 296 is a beast and I am in love!

Greetings from Germany!

Hello @iracing, do you use the ingame camera mode to record these kind of clip or is it done differently ?
Cheers

Another incredible content drop by iRacing. I bought it all. It's all fantastic.

[Tintortoise]

This is definitely the best season this year omg

[RokyeongKang]

Looks much better than the former 488 gt3! :)

Aww, I thought for once we were going to actually see the trailing car challenge the lead car for position... All these videos (except for this one - thought it was going to happen earlier in the run to the chicane in the back stretch, lol) always seem to fade out just as that's about to happen, haha.

Anyway, it's cool to see this car come to iRacing so relatively quickly, considering that it made its debut this year. Also a bit sad to think that some features of the car aren't exactly things that shine in a racing sim, such as the its modular design that makes critical endurance racing tasks such as changing brakes for easier/quicker maintenance by crews during a race... Or are these things factored into iRacing's repair algorithm?

I hope that mclaren and audi get some attention too!
:)

[coyotemotioned]

how can i make such cameras in iracing? there is an option to make a chase camera that track another car? i would realmly appreciate some help on that!

[scriptedPR]

When did they start adding in shifting animations? I’ve raced with wheel off for a while now.

I liked the old 488 rear end alot more and the handling but the new one is nice

[jean.cruzd]

How to close the fuel low message in the ferrari display, it's very annoying

[JoseanRx]

Ferrari & Porsche GT3s renewed 2 times in a short period of time... meanwhile, FORD GT and McLaren still there

[TheTbanks]

Looks great. Did I see RTX-like reflections!?

[gemonic]

[RomainWhatever]
