The 2006 season brought the debut of the stunning Ferrari F430 GTC which was developed by the Corse Clienti department in Maranello in collaboration with Michelotto Automobili.

Derived from the excellent F430 road-going berlinetta, the car dominated its category since its debut. Its major wins have included the FIA GT2 Manufacturers’ Cup and Drivers’ titles in both 2006 and 2007, the Drivers’ title again in 2008 in the same championship, the Manufacturers’ title in the American Le Mans GT2 Series in 2007, and the GT category in the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hour Race.

Ferrari has a great tradition in Gran Turismo competitions through official participation with its drivers, especially during the 50s and 60s, and through the engagement of numerous clients, winning with the cars from the Prancing Horse on tracks and roads all over the world.

The history of chassis 2434 Ferrari F430 GTC

Chassis 2434 distinguished itself in the Campeonato de España GT. Entered for the season in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 by the Portuguese team ASM Team, it enabled Lourenço Beirão da Veiga and Ricardo Bravo to win the overall title in 2009. That year, they won four races at Valencia, Estoril and Jerez.

In 2012, the F430 chassis 2434 raced in England with Paul Bailey and Andy Schulz in the Britcar Endurance Championship and Pirelli Open by us at SB Race Engineering.

We sold the car in 2017 and it has since been fully restored to its original spec and livery. 2434 was then successfully entered in the Masters Endurance Legends races and the Endurance Racing Legends by Peter Auto. In its last race at Le Mans Classic 2022, it secured the win of GT2 class

Chassis 2434 was campaigned by us here at SBR from 2010-2014. Narrowly missing out on the Britcar championship in 2013

Ferrari F430 GTC Today.

The Ferrari F430 GTC remains one of Ferrari’s most successful and revered GT2-class race cars, developed by Michelotto in partnership with Ferrari Corse Clienti for serious international competition. Introduced in 2006, the F430 GTC was engineered for endurance racing at the highest level, with proven success in the FIA GT2 Championship, Le Mans Series, and American Le Mans Series, including class wins at Le Mans and Sebring. Today, while no longer campaigned at the top level, these cars continue to be highly respected in historic racing and specialist track day events, where their performance, balance, and racing heritage still shine.

With values in 2025 typically ranging from £250,000 to £400,000, depending on race history, originality, and condition, the F430 GTC is a coveted addition to any serious Ferrari or endurance racing collection. Values have increased in recent years due to several new revival race series, that make these cars eligible to race competitively again.

At SB Race Engineering, we have extensive experience supporting the F430 GTC in period, both in factory-level preparation and privateer team support. We continue to maintain, restore, and provide trackside support for clients who run these machines in historic events or dedicated test sessions. Our in-depth knowledge of this platform ensures each F430 GTC performs to its full racing potential. Learn more about our capabilities on our Track Preparation page.
