VISTA AF CORSE UNVEILS 2025 FIA WEC LINE-UP
AND THEIR ICONIC SILVER AND RED LIVERIES
After an impressive debut season in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), which saw Vista AF Corse claim two victories, the team is set to return in 2025 with even greater ambitions.
Once again representing Ferrari in the LMGT3 class, Vista AF Corse will take on a fiercely competitive field featuring eight of the world’s most prestigious manufacturers. The team will campaign two Ferrari 296 GT3 cars #54 and #21 — dressed in the iconic silver and red livery, inspired by the Vista Members’ fleet.
Car #54 will be driven by Bronze-rated driver Thomas Flohr, alongside Francesco Castellacci and official Ferrari driver Davide Rigon. This accomplished trio has already secured two consecutive FIA WEC class victories at Fuji Speedway (Japan) including the first ever success of the 296 LMGT3 in FIA WEC in 2024.
In the sister car, #21, Simon Mann (Silver-rated driver) will once again share driving duties with François Heriau, who secured pole position in Fuji’s Hyperpole session, and official Ferrari driver Alessio Rovera. The trio ended the 2024 season on a high, claiming victory in Bahrain and securing third place in the final LMGT3 Drivers’ Championship standings.
The new season gets underway with the Official Prologue in Qatar on February 21st–22nd, followed by the opening race, the Qatar 1812km, on February 28th.
Thomas Flohr, Vista AF Corse driver #54 and Vista Founder & Chairman said: “As we prepare for the 2025 World Endurance Championship, it’s an incredible privilege to continue our partnership with Ferrari and AF Corse in the Ferrari 296 LMGT3. Racing with such a prestigious team is an honor, and I’m thrilled to embark on this journey once again. WEC is the pinnacle of endurance racing, where drivers, engineers, and teams push themselves to the limit. This season promises to be another extraordinary chapter, and we’re ready to give it everything we’ve got.”
Amato Ferrari, AF Corse Founder said: “Following a strong debut season with the Ferrari 296 LMGT3, Vista AF Corse has even bigger ambitions for 2025. Our two victories last year reflect the hard work, dedication, and skill of both the team and our talented drivers. Throughout 2024, both cars showed increasing competitiveness, particularly in the second half of the season, proving their ability to fight at the front. With continuity in our driver line-ups and a strong foundation in place, we are confident in our ability to build on this success and challenge for even more in 2025.”
Simon Mann, Vista AF Corse driver #21 said: “I’m super excited to start a new FIA WEC season with Vista AF Corse and the Ferrari 296 LMGT3. I think for our crew it will be crucial to carry the positive momentum from last year’s final rounds, when we managed to secure a pole position and a class win, into the 2025 season.”
Vista AF Corse is prepared to take on the challenges of the 2025 FIA WEC season, aiming for even greater success on the world’s premier endurance racing stage.
