Victory and third place for 296 LMGT3s at Spa

The Ferrari 296 LMGT3s of Vista AF Corse finished the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, round three of the FIA WEC 2025, with a victory and a third place. The number 21 crew of François Heriau, Simon Mann and official driver Alessio Rovera claimed the win, while the number 54 entry, shared by Thomas Flohr, Francesco Castellacci and official Ferrari driver Davide Rigon, finished third. It was an extraordinary day for the Prancing Horse, which also recorded a one-two overall finish in the top class, with the 499P number 51 triumphing ahead of the number 50.

The race began with the Bronze-licence drivers behind the wheel for the opening two hours. François Heriau delivered a remarkable stint, charging up through the field and even reaching the head of the LMGT3 standings before slipping back due to a drive-through penalty. Thomas Flohr kept the number 54 car in the points during his stint before handing over to Francesco Castellacci, who moved up into the top five. In the number 21, Simon Mann also climbed into the top half of the LMGT3 field, setting highly competitive lap times.

The final two hours of the race saw the Ferrari official drivers take over. Alessio Rovera powered through the field with a series of decisive overtakes to take the lead and secure victory in car number 21, while also setting the fastest lap of the race. Davide Rigon, driving number 54, led during the penultimate hour and crossed the line in third, just over 40 seconds behind the winner.

Ferrari’s previous GT class victory at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps came in 2023 in the LMGTE Am category. Alessio Rovera also played a key role on that occasion, winning at the wheel of the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo of Richard Mille AF Corse, alongside Lilou Wadoux and Luis Perez Companc. This marks the third WEC victory for the Ferrari 296 LMGT3 in the 11 races since its debut last year, following its triumphs at the end of the 2024 season in Japan and Bahrain.

With this latest win, the crew of car number 21 rises into second place in the LMGT3 championship standings with 40 points, while car number 54 climbs to fourth with 31 points.

The next round of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship is the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the crown jewel of the series, which will take place over the weekend of 14–15 June.
