Made for the 2006 season by the Ferrari Corse department in collaboration with Michelotto, the F430 GTC for the GT2 class of the Gran Turismo marked a significant step forward compared to the competing 360 Modena, which however reached the limit of development. In six years of racing, the car took part in the most important GT championships, from the FIA-GT to the Le Mans Series, from the American Le Mans to the Asian Le Mans Series up to the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and the GT Open, achieving victories to repeat, not to mention the numerous successes in many national championships (Italian GT, Spanish GT and Superstars GT Sprint).
