Climax Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 to compete in China GT Zhuhai

News & Announcements China Zhuhai International Circuit June 20

From June 20 to 22, the 2025 China GT Championship will usher in a wonderful showdown in the third race at the Zhuhai International Circuit. Climax Racing will continue to be led by Chinese driver Chen Fangping and Finnish rising star Elias Seppänen, driving the flagship of the Prancing Horse GT racing car, the Ferrari 296 GT3, in the GT3 Pro-Am category. After the tempering and running-in of the first two races of the season, this Sino-European combination is gradually showing strong competitiveness and vows to reach new heights in Zhuhai, South Guangdong.

As China's first permanent racing track built according to international standards, Zhuhai International Circuit has carried the dreams of countless racing drivers since its completion. Although the 4.3-kilometer track has a simple layout, the high temperature, high humidity and changeable weather make it a testing ground for drivers and engineering teams. Historically, this track has witnessed the passionate years of world-class events such as FIA GT and Le Mans Intercontinental Cup, and has placed extremely high demands on the braking system and tire management of the racing car, adding more highlights and challenges to the return of China GT to Zhuhai.

After the fierce competition in the first two stations, Chen Fangping and Elias Seppänen, the "China-Europe joint" team, are gradually getting better. In the process of constantly exploring tactical rhythm and driving style, the tacit understanding between the two drivers has also been quietly established on the track and in communication. Facing the new battle stage of Zhuhai, they will not only aim for results, but also be eager to accumulate more practical experience to lay a solid foundation for the second half of the season.

This race will also see the first official appearance of the Ferrari 296 GT3 in Zhuhai. As the new representative of the Ferrari GT family, the 296 GT3 has been completely innovated in terms of power output, aerodynamics and vehicle balance, and Climax Racing's professional performance in vehicle tuning and competition strategy has also made the outside world full of expectations for the "Prancing Horse Zhuhai Debut". Whether the new car and new combination can impact the podium of the sub-station is worth waiting for.

The 2025 season is the first full season after the China GT brand upgrade, with a more refined competition system and more iconic track coverage. This return to Zhuhai is not only a tribute to the classic venue, but also a signal to all teams and fans: China's high-level GT competition is on the way, growing, and catching up with the world.

Climax Racing has assembled, and the sound of engines in Zhuhai is about to sound. From June 20 to 22, let us look forward to the glorious moment of the prancing horse!
