Ferrari was struggling to mix with other manufacturers in the DTM this year, until Emil Frey driver Jack Aitken finally scored a breakthrough race win at the Lausitzring. Here\u2019s how the revered Italian marque finally turned a corner with its 296 GT3 racer.
Ferrari was a front-running manufacturer in the first two years of the DTM’s GT3 era in 2021-22, with the factory-supported and Red Bull-branded AF Corse squad even challenging for the title with Liam Lawson in ‘21. However, with AF Corse leaving and being replaced by Emil Frey as Ferrari’s sole representative in the DTM, and the ageing 488 GT3 also making way for the new 296 GT3, results were proving to be much harder to achieve in 2023.
It followed the 296 GT3’s historic victory at the Nurburgring 24 Hours in May, which was a first for a non-German car at the twice-the-round clock enduro since 2002. "The car is very fast in the corners. We were therefore deprived of so much power that, although we were very good on a free lap in qualifying, we couldn't get off the mark in the race even at the start.
“I don't want to complain, because it's also very difficult for the people who do the BoP, because you don't have that much data and experience with a new vehicle,” Frey-Hilti said.
