Five Ferrari 296 LMGT3s participated in the 93rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans at the Circuit de la Sarthe. The race was intense, with Ferrari cars being strong contenders throughout. Drivers from the number 21 Vista AF Corse Ferrari, which secured second place, shared their thoughts on the event.
Alessio Rovera from Vista AF Corse #21 commented, “When you’re that close to victory, you can’t be completely happy, but I’m still satisfied with second place. Today was the best possible result because our opponents were very quick, right from the prologue. These are important championship points, and a podium at Le Mans is always special.”
Simon Mann also from Vista AF Corse #21 noted, “It was a very long race and, incredibly, it ran almost entirely under green flag conditions, without the usual Safety Car interruptions. François and Alessio did a fantastic job, as did the entire team. I’m delighted to be on the podium here at Le Mans.”
François Heriau expressed his satisfaction saying, “I’m absolutely delighted to have made it onto the podium and to have taken second place at Le Mans. It was my first time here. The team did an extraordinary job; the car was flying, and we didn’t make a single mistake.”
Davide Rigon from Vista AF Corse #54 reflected on his experience: “I’m delighted with my performance in the race – the start, the way we managed all aspects with the engineers… Unfortunately, a technical problem stopped us.” He added that despite this setback they gave their best effort.
Lilou Wadoux of Richard Mille AF Corse #150 said about her race experience: “It was a good race. We had a few issues in the first five hours and lost a lap… but we finished the race.”
Daniel Serra from Kessel Racing #57 remarked on his participation: “I am happy to be here and to have finished another 24 Hours of Le Mans.”
