Watched the race in it's entirety, so happy for Klaus Abbelen and his team, they really deserve this win
I am Klaus.
Any Ferrari that wins any race will always be special.
All the BOP talk aside, it is a very decent car. I am very happy for Frikadelli to claim their first victory.
And thanks for mentioning the dampers, I was really wondering, why the car was bouncing so much in the quick righthanders. No one talked about that in the German stream.
It's funny you mention that... I remember seeing a comment in the live chat about the bouncing car. I don't remember who said it, or when, but I remember seeing that comment and replying to them "you need travel for the track". I dismissed them as if they were some silly noob who was talking nonsense, but it seems you two saw something I didn't! 😓👍
@@kalui96 yeah looked very odd.
I just hope this isn't the beginning of spiralling costs in GT3 class racing. The class was created to keep costs under control. I know Ferrari GT3 cars have always been generally more expensive than what other manufacturers offer to customer teams though.
Delighted for Frikadelli on the win anyway, that was a nice feel good moment.
Well, that's how GT1 turned out to be awesome. When they started to build racecars first and homologate them after, we got the legendary GT1 cars
@@hansdietrich83isn't that how Ford when about designing the GT?
Looked strong all race. Great for us Ferrari fans
Cool to see other than "only" German manufactures to win the 24h race. Hope to see a McLaren again :)
car looks really good with that liviery, also holycrap i din't know it was that much more expensive than other gt3 cars.
New Corvette would even ask more
@@fqeagles21 That’s what I was gonna say lol
I am pretty sure the new porsche gt3 is also at arround 600K
@@sagerwraps9990 yeah probably
@@sagerwraps9990 If the Mustang gt3 is also over 600k then it will all be fair.
People crying about BoP forget that Ferrari won last month's race at the Nurburgring, and got slowed down after that.
Yeah i know 😂,such crybabies
The porches also got 15kg taken off their car at the last moments
also the car is great in the others championships so, i really dont get why they say its all about BoP, Bmw and mercedes where as fast as the ferrari, being the fastest car in 1 lap doesnt mean anything here as there is a lot of traffic so you can get lucky or not
@@WixyJixy the porsches were forced to change camber though... Which caused their punctures
@@marijn17s sure but they did ask the stewards for help with the BoP so I guess they had to take what was given to them
Great Video. Love the new Ferrari, drives fast and smooth, looks beautiful and sounds amazing. That and the fact that Frikadelli won their first race on my first ever visit to the 24h race at the Nordschleife makes it just so wonderful for me personally :) I am happy!
Kiwi Ferrari fan here. I was beaming with pride for Earl. So stoked you've done this video. Cherry on top of the win.
The Japanese like to call this type of optimization "Kaizen"
I wasn't particularly impressed with "the new V6 car" but after this video, and watching NBR24, I have a newfound respect for it.
that V6 is a beast to be honest giving the competition like 1mins insane power from the Ferrari 296GT3
Kaizen is just the Japanese word for improvement. But yeah.
It’s sad that you have a biased towards v6 cars without giving them a chance, can’t we appreciate all types of engines without going anything bellow v8 sucks. Ferrari has created something incredible, even the sound is pretty good. Porsche has been destroying the competition for years with their flat 6 but car guys will complain about the lack of sound, variety is good and developing new tech is good.
@@forzer456 you're not wrong but V6 sound and romance compared to... flat 12, V12, V10, V8... I mean come on
@@kalui96 sound is one thing and I can appreciate that but reliability and efficiency is also something to appreciate too
Watched the entire 24h Nurburgring Race. Stayed up all night. The competition was really high. But the 296 something else. At some point they couldn't pursue that car anymore.
Honestly think they have got a strong general package, making the car be long term viable on a track like the nbr24h has helped alot, just having usability and driveability goes a long way in this race, the modularity and ease of use, oreca being rather experienced at all this, did feel the rear wing was quite thin and lacking in endplate size though as a whole, obviously bop could have been favourable, but it wasn't as if it dropped the rest like they weren't even there, they have drivers competing at incredible level and everything so, and this race is just like no other, there's so many things that go into it that saying it's mostly bop would be a bit extreme.
The Viper was unfairly opposed by those manufacturers who were tired of looking at its tailights. Anyway, congrats to Ferrari!
Loving your videos! How about giving an update on the H2 ICE, especially in the context of commercial vehicles? The DOE recently held an webinar giving a brief overview with many additional sources for further research. Since yt doesn't allow links you have to s arch for "February h2iq hour".
This is a great explanation. What are your thoughts if the crankshaft centreline was lateral instead of longitudinal, creating a more efficient final drive? would this have a chassis effect from less twisting moment?
It's even great in ACC..... I know its a publicly available sim, but they used real data when developing the car for the sim, so they seem to be onto something with the 296
Great reporting thx for the upload
Those lights in the front bumper is a nice throwback.
The Ferrari 296 GT3 is absolutely amazing. And to think that it's a brand new GT3 car with still so much potential for developing. Ferrari has really done an exceptional work creating this beautiful racing beast. It will be interesting to see how this car evolves in the future and can it rival or even better the huge success of the 488.
I think their win had a lot to do with that replaceable rear end. Other cars got punctures and were out of the contention for the win. They managed to service the car in the normal pit stop time!!
You can say that but its the point on the track where the puncture happened. If they had that on the middle of the track or at the beginning they would have lost several minutes.
With that the Team would also not in the top 3.
@@flashback0994 Racing in the Nürburgring 24h is brutal in that sense, like if you happen to get a puncture on the GP strecke part of the circuit then the race is basically over as you have to drive about 20 km back to the pits at snail's pace.
Such an emotional win
I watched the live feed for as long as my eyes could stay open
So what I'm hearing from this video is the way to win is to have spot lights embedded in the centre of the bumper.
Ferrari has seriously comes a long way from a beauty queen that lives in a garage to one that is reliable enough to tackle a 24hr race!
You obviously don't know anything about endurance racing because if you would then you'd know that Ferrari has been winning endurance races since 1949.
What an ignorant comment...
Wonder if its designers will start to work on the F1 programme soon :)
I think part of the F1 team now work on this and the prototype as a result of F1’s cost cap
They are working on the lmp1 car or whatever that category is called now too, actually the car share quite a few part with it, they were talking about it during the 24h broadcast. Same engine but detune in the gt3 car if I'm not wrong and other parts as well. They said it might have some F1 tech as well too but werent sure.
@@cben86 not at all.
This one is made by Oreca/Dallara/FerrariGT.
The LMH is done by Dallara.
The F1 team is just the F1 team.
I've been both at Ferrari F1 and Oreca.
@@frenchLeon Liar Oreca only assembled the car and do the presale of the gt3 car which is different. Im sure youre french right? haha
go and make a little research mr frenchbs
Was expecting clickbait, pleasantly surprised. People are quick to cry BoP when anyone wins, but there are still GT3 cars that are just better platforms than others, and the 296 is off to a great start.
Could you make a video on the differences between GT3 and GTE?
Very slightly more HP and downforce in GTE but no traction control and ABS as far as i know
Ferrari seems to have built a really fast and reliable gt3 car, but still it seems like they were favoured by the BoP this year, lets see about the next NLS Races and the 24h Nbr next year.
I want to see it run LeMans, watching a 499 P and a 296 GT3 alongside each other will be so cool. I love the 488 GT3 and it was one of the best GT3's ever but Im just excited for this new Ferrari age
@@MSDX360 2024, AF Corse will be running 2 296s in LMGT3.
@@Dexter037S4 Damn, nice. Shame we hae to wait one more year lol
yeah because this year they still had the GTE class, so they would have to make some chances to the car
@@MSDX360Ferrari won le mans
I really like the look of the car, it looks agressive but also elegant. It obviously is fast, and I really hope they can give Porsche and other manufacturers a run for their money.
Compared to the new Porsche GT3, the Ferrari was much more competitive, so that bodes well. Reliability was a big worry for me, but the issues they had were manageable, which is quite surprising for such a new car.
How much do you reckon the budget cap in F1 has led to the rapid development of their Hypercar and GT3? Obviously they had some very good people on their payroll which they needed to give a new position...
The new GT3 car was outsourced to Oreca, as far as I know.
The budget cap in F1 was announced in 2019 and introduced in 2021. This meant that Ferrari couldn't dump 600m in their F1 team anymore and they'd have to reallocate their resources elsewhere like into other programs because it's not worth sacking all their quality staff. So fast forward 4 years and they've won Nürburgring 24hr and Le Mans with near flawless reliability, strategy and pace. When you look at Ferrari's F1 team it would seems like a huge surprise seeing what they've achieved elsewhere but Ferrari have always been a force to be reckoned with in endurance racing. Welcome back Ferrari.
@@petouser It's only ASSEMBLED by Oreca. Everything else is 100% made by Ferrari. Do some research and find out.
I think it's the best looking GT3 car since the McLaren MP4-12C!❤
Is it the fastest? Maybe, maybe not. But it seems to be incredibly reliable, which is great in endurance racing
I m not an expert in gt3 but when i saw the Gtb i knew that will be so fast on the green hell
Why?
@@fqeagles21 just a feeling...
@@blackeyes3313 i hope the BOP hammer won’t be too harsh for it
What happened to the 2003 viper? I’m sure there’s a good video to be made on this
Oh yes, that’s a story... definitely a future video!
There already is, "Zakspeed's V8 Viper that refused to be banned" from Stijn Paspont, although I am also curious how B Sport might interpret the facts and figures.
Video is out :)
@@BSport320 That was fast! Well done.
Hate the engine sound. But no doubt this car is on another level
Guys, please like and share. This is great content.
I love Porsche, but a strong competition is the best thing for racing and further development.
What a great car!
It's a fantastic car, but in the end in GT3 racing everything comes down to the BoP. You can basically have a car from 10 years ago, with a good BoP it will be still competitive.
And they need to work on the sound - there is hardly anything coming out of the exhaust.
Nordschleife has noise regulations, so every car will have to be driven with the most quiet mufflers. On GP circuit it would be fine.
Maybe,a 5 year old car but i doubt that a 458 with a good BOP would be very competitive?
Sound is energy, unused. - Toto Wolff🙃
What is BoP?
@@bestopinion9257 Balance of performance. "In sports car racing, balance of performance (BoP) is a regulation and mechanism that maintains parity between competing vehicles by adjusting limits on a car's parameters, such as horsepower, weight, engine management, and aerodynamics to prevent a single manufacturer from becoming dominant in a racing class or series." From Wiki
Ferrari🔝🔝🔝💪💪💪❤❤❤
last time the race was won by neither a German car or team was 1987 (noting that Zakspeed is German). It has never been won by a non-German car, team, driver combo.
Very true
I feel like there's likely an obvious answer, but i just don't get how there can be cars that can have an advantage despite BOP. Can someone please clarify?? Is it just as it was explained in this video about having a package that's suitable for all race conditions?
Well the organzizers obviously try to make all of the cars as equal in performance as possible but that's not always doable. First of all manufacturers like to sandbag before big races, so they drive slow on purpose in sessions or races prior to the event they want to win so the organizer gives them a bit of help and suddenly they are faster than everyone else on race day. There are also other factors which make the BoP process pretty hard such as the fact that cars change over a stint. While some cars are good with full fuel tanks, some get faster over a stint or are better with tyres, it is hard to include that into the BoP though since they can only really rely on Qualifying pace. Turbo cars for example also get quicker during the night hours when the air gets cooler but I haven't heard of any racing series taking that specifically into account, especially since the night time is rather short and in the middle, the non decisive stages, of the race.
Their tire puncture resulted in bodywork damage at the rear. I was super impressed by the quick change of the entire rear assembly complete with the diffuser and even exhausts! All done within seconds! Everything lined-up perfectly with no need for wriggling about or banging on things. The procedure seemed easier than even on LMP1 cars. With any other car that puncture could have cost them the victory.
I've been following N24 since 2008 and each year I was rooting for someone to break the hegemony of German marques. To see Frikadelli do it was a special moment indeed. ♥
Sounds like someone forgot about the Dacia Logan
Yes the Dacia is by far the best GT3 car. And it was sad to see it being killed.
Great
For Sabine ❤
I like frikadel
Congratulations Ferrari! You have finally found a racing class that you can win!
What do you mean. Watch the F1 story. Ferrari Is the First team in the drivers and constructors ranking. Obviously in the history of F1 One team dominates every period. Without Ferrari there Isn't F1.
Ferrari won le mans too. Porsche is for peasants
Let's see how long it'll be able to keep it's advantage ( if there is any ) before Porsche's Bop fate get's to Ferrari.
BOP Hammer for Ferrari 296 already in GTWORLCHEU DTM and IMSA, barely a Top 5,so a Good BOPPED 296 would be at least top 3 competitive
Ferrari ❤️🏎️❤️
Well it's gonna get Zakspeed'd next year, 90L fuel tank anyone?
I noticed it jumping, behaving like a prototipe!
Prototypes jumps?
It has not been made by Ferrari.
The aerodynamic has been done by Dallara.
The mechanical side has been made by Oreca.
I know. I worked on it at Oreca.
Thanks for sharing.
Of course parts of the development are outsourced. But it's still a Ferrari project.
I knew it was Oreca, it was article about it 2 years ago. I like look of the car with (NextSolution) LM endurance lights setup.
Is Micheloto and Ferrari colab ended? I read about they work on Isotta Fraschini lmh.
@@BSport320 ignore this french guy hes lying Oreca only assembled the car everything was made by ferrari you can look at the site of ferrari talking about this.

@@parabelluminvicta8380 I have worked with Oreca on the Viper project, "Assembly" and after sales, is manufacture speak for much more than you think, I'll go out on a limb here and say FrenchLeon, who actually worked there, knows a fair bit more than someone who has read a press release about the project
@@db-mp2of that is bs from a youtube comment.
He said the car was not made by ferrari but by oreca he is basicaly saying the car was designed and developed by oreca. How I know oreca only assembled the car? i worked at ferrari trust me.
A big part of it was due to BoP too. Their fastest lap was almost 5sec faster than their rivals.
Their race pace was so quick they beat their own qualifying time. “New BoP given to Ferrari after qualifying sessions”
While I really admire the flawless job the team has done, there is no doubt the car has been given an unfair advantage.
No shit sherlock, as long as bop will be used, there will always be an unfair advantage
Well prior to that ferrari always had an disadvantage because of the bop. I know they were on pole in 2022 but look where they finished.
@@adriangurges8244 if i remember correctly, octane126 was complaining about the lack of top speed on the dottinger hohe relative to their german peers even with that pole position
A Video about "why Lambo, Nissan, Bentley, Aston ....." couldnt win the 24h would be awesome! 🤔🙃
👍
What is the point of paying 50% more when there ist BoP ?
BOP doesn’t account for serviceability of the car mid race
I can see what happen to viper will happen to this ferrari to
30 second is not too big of a Gap TBH
The rear looks weird ngl
To all the french spreading bs about oreca building the car i want to say just do a simple research.
"Ferrari is pleased to announce a technical partnership agreement with ORECA for the assembly and after-sales services for the new GT3, which will begin track testing in early 2022. The agreement confirms the Prancing Horse’s long-term commitment to the major championships for Gran Turismo cars."
There was 0 semblance of a fight up front. After the Abt Lamborghini puncture, the Frikadelli Ferrari took the lead and wasn’t threatened for the entire remainder of the race, with enough pace and gap to absorb the time loss from their own puncture and late damper failure and still dominate. I love the N24 but they messed up this BOP this time around.
27 Lambo without puncture would have been really close i think
What a race and that distance record will stand for some time.
The car itself is not that great looking in my eyes. It looks retro in a bad way or maybe just generic.
Retro what😂😂😂,looks like a prototype and a gt baby
I think the same of the Porsche 963
Maybe in the European racing series it’s the best, it sure as hell isn’t good in the imsa American racing series
with the bop that Ferraris always get in the imsa its impossible to do better. Its pretty obvious that the Corvettes get 90% of the time favourable bop.
@@j7b890 Facts.
8 months after ,and with a less punishing BOP ,the Ferrari 296 gt3 wins Rolex 24Daytona in GTDpro class and place second, third and fourth in GTD class; so yeah no good in IMSA.
Seems like Ferrari need to let their sportscar designers at their F1 car... ;)
3:11 So they're doin the opposite of what they're doing in F1. :)
Not as beautiful as the 488 but looks like a great package
F1 money going to good use.
It was an awesome Nür24h, the only truly sour aftertaste comes from that knobhead Porsche driver absolutely destroying the Dacia...
True but it wasn’t the only incident and it became a pure GT3 race - sadly. There is no respect for smaller teams anymore.
@@BSport320 The GT3 class has made such strides in speed in the last few years, so the speed difference really becomes a problem. The problem with the increased interest in the race (also in crowds and social media) is that the competetion will become stronger and teams will have to get more professional and have to spend more money, which will increase the gap to the smaller cars and teams even more.
At this point, having such a huge speed difference becomes a liability and I think the organisers need to address this. I think the introduction of a minimum lap time for safaty will only be a matter of time, and it will destroy a bit of the grassroots DIY spirit of the event. I think this is inevitable though...
Best BOP*
Yes BoP is a good point. Ferrari might have sandbagged and BoP might be too gentle with this new GT3 car. But we have to remember that the Porsche 992 GT3R is new as well.
@@BSport320 the old 911 was very fast so they may have received unfavorable bop with the new one
@@BSport320 Well, the BoP wasn't in the favour for the Ferarri (488) in the years before, but it's also a new car...
@@fazeobama8872 That's not how it works.
@@alpher3512 well the 296 Is not doing Good in Gtworlcheu, It needs Better BOP

Sabine Schmitz died??
So Ferrari split its engineering team between this and F1. We therefore now know where all the brains went .
manthey is triggered
BOP Stunk big time.
GT3 racing isn't about making a "FAST" car it's about making a drive-able one that is light on its tyres and then sandbagging so that the organizers give you a favourable BOP for the race.
Sandbagging is almost impossible in a series like GTWS because of how many teams are running each model of car makes it basically impossible for manufacturers to co-ordinate a sandbag attempt as the organizers will be looking at ALL [in this case] Ferraris not just one or two teams as well as the AM teams and not just the PRO ones.
However in the N24 there was only 3 Ferrari's and one of those cars was no-where near as competitive anyway. They absolutely drove slowly during the practice and qualifying to get a favourable BOP.
Best laps were 2+seconds better than anyone else. Their best lap during the race was only half a second off the POLE time! And the only other car that got below 8:10 was the other Ferrari so it's not some random magic laps the winning car got.
The winning car had a puncture lost 20+seconds and was back ahead of everyone after 2 pit stops.
As I said, the BOP stunk and the organizers got well and truly scammed.
All your story would be good if it wasnt for the small fact all other cars got BoP breaks before the race except the 296
@@petersafwat8228 Wasnt enough though. The 296 was a rocket down the straights, almost impossible for any other car to overtake. There was one instance where Estre was able to go by the #20 after side drafting it, but the next lap he got overtaken again.
I'd say Ferrari had too much power. Audi and Porsche needed more power and higher wing angle to limit top speed.
With all the BoP talk, I'm super happy Frikadelli won. Perfect job all around from the team and drivers, all without factory support. A real privateer won against big factories which makes this win even more epic.
2 seconds Fastest lap advantage on an 8 min+ laptime is nothing. It's comparable to .350 of a second on a normal 1 and a half minute track.
Also Pole lap is set by regulations on a full tank of fuel, so cars were much heavier on Qualy day, comparing the two is disingenuos at best.
Frikadelli were faster, better, more reliable. They won.
Stop crying
Always this BoP whining ...
Fastest BMW out. Fastest Audi out. Fastest Porsche out. Fastest Lamborghini with two tyre failures.
Yeah, if the others hadn't crashed as much, hadn't had bad luck with tyres, hadn't messed up their qualifying (#98 BMW), that win wouldn't have looked nearly as "easy" (about a minute at the end of 24h...).
@@_SpamMe Maybe you should learn what BOP even is.
The incidents from the others didn't ensure the Ferrari's win, the BOP did. It was Frikadelli's to lose and that's that.
Two of the 3 Ferrari's were under 8mins 10 and no other car was.
It's BOP gamesmanship at its peak
no, it's not. Othjerwise they wouldn't need bop. There's a reason Fricadelli dropped the porsche, after having threatened not to start the 24hrs one year. n24 bop has always been a joke, you can bet your sweet ass they're getting a bollocking by all the german manufacturers and that the ferrari won't be anywhere near the podium next year.
Unfortunately that's probably true. There's no way all the German manufacturers would allow ADAC to give Ferrari or any other non-German manufacturer a chance to win again. Porsche, BMW and Merc all cried to the ADAC officials after the race and next year they will definitely get a BoP that let's them win easily.
Simple answer, "no", it's the team behind the machine that's responsible, they poured their time, $$ and souls into that race and deserved to come out on top.
Yeah, because the team won this race without a car, right? Clown. Nobody can win motorsport race without a great car. Give credit to Ferrari and stop moaning.

The Germans are cheating all the time with BoP everywhere. At the Nürburgring German cars always get favorable BoP. This year it was the first time when they didn't get such a big advantage.
