Developed for GT2-class endurance racing in collaboration with Michelotto Automobili, and based on the road-going F430, the 430 GTC featured a 4.0-liter tipo 131 naturally aspirated V-8 engine, paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox. It weighed approximately 2,425 pounds, being significantly lighter than the road version, aided by its space frame chassis and considerable use of carbon fiber. Upsized Brembo brakes provided superior stopping power and the suspension system was fully adjustable, allowing teams to fine-tune settings for different tracks. Aerodynamic refinements included widened bodywork, optimized cooling ducts, and increased downforce, enhancing stability and grip. Between 2006 and 2010, the F430 GTC achieved multiple class victories, including wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and numerous ALMS championships, solidifying its legacy as one of Ferrari’s most successful GT2 race cars.
Chassis F131EVOGTC 2644 is one of only 11 of the later cars, demonstrating more shapely “wide bodies,” among other improvements. Scott Sharp announced at Monterey in 2009 that he would compete as Extreme Speed Motorsports (ESM) in the 2010 American Le Mans Series, with sponsorship from Tequila Patrón. The following spring, ESM arrived with a pair of Ferrari GT2 cars, No. 1 being this new example, 2644, and No. 2 an earlier series car, 2620, both in a striking combination of raven black bodywork with lime green Patrón decals.
At the 12 Hours of Sebring, 2644 was driven by Dominik Farnbacher, Johannes van Overbeek, and Sharp, finishing 27th. Sharp and van Overbeek partnered races at Long Beach, Laguna Seca, Miller, Lime Rock, Mid-Ohio, Road America, and Mosport. They closed out the season at Petit Le Mans in October, rejoined by Farnbacher and gaining a creditable 11th Overall and 2nd in Class finish. It earned them 10th in that year’s series.
Testing was repeated at Sebring in 2011, but there was no further racing. At the end of its tenure, 2644 was sold to the current owner, a prominent privateer racer whose career has included both historic racing and even Le Mans in the Prototype class. Its guise was now revised to a distinctive blue and white scheme, as a nod to the owner’s Scottish heritage. To enable the car to keep up with modern technology and improve usability, technical refinements included the fitting of a MoTeC ECU.
It was campaigned through the 2016 and 2017 HSR seasons – including running the historic 12 Hours of Sebring and winning its category in 2017 – before retiring from racing. It was then treated to a cosmetic refurbishment, including a repaint in Rosso Corsa (Racing Red) and general detailing. This F430 GTC remains a striking and capable example of modern GT racing heritage.
