Ferrari has added French GT3 ace Thomas Neubauer to its roster of factory drivers.

Neubauer transitioned to sports car racing from junior single seaters in 2018 and has since gone on to race for a variety of manufacturers, including BMW, Mercedes-AMG and Lexus.

He secured two Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS titles in Silver Cup, first capturing the Sprint Cup title with the then-named AKKA ASP before claiming Endurance Cup honors with Team WRT in 2022.

Part of his Endurance Cup campaign with the Vincent Vosse-led squad included a class win in the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, while Neubauer also formed part of WRT’s winning lineup in that year’s Hankook 24H Dubai.

He already held a relationship with Ferrari through a successful tenure in Ferrari Challenge, most notably coming out on top in the Prancing Horse’s Finali Mondiali event in 2022.

“We are pleased to welcome Thomas to our family, a driver who has had the opportunity to claim some important triumphs and achievements both in the Ferrari Challenge – where he was crowned world champion in 2022 – and in endurance racing, proving to be a talent with great potential in this field as well,” said Antonello Coletta, Ferrari’s Global Head of Endurance.

“We are confident that Thomas, as he becomes part of the group of official drivers, will make a significant contribution to achieving our ambitious goals.”
