Ferrari F430 GTC
Main features
GT Competitions
Ferrari has a great tradition in Gran Turismo competitions through official participation with its drivers, especially during the 50s and 60s, and through the engagement of numerous clients, winning with the cars from the Prancing Horse on tracks and roads all over the world. Taking part in Gran Turismo competitions has a double function for Ferrari. On the one hand there is the goal of using racing as the environment to develop new solutions for the serial production, as it happens in Formula One; on the other hand there is the desire to nourish the legend of a brand, which became universally known also due to its clients’ successes in motor sports.
