Ferrari 296 GT3 Shake Down at Putnam Park

Thursday 28th November 2024

Last week the Ferrari 296 took to the track at Putnam Park, in Indiana, USA for a shake-down ahead of the 2025 Creventic race series.

The Dubai season-opening endurance race will see the #81 Ferrari run with a crew that includes two-time Rolex 24-winner Dwight Merriman, IMSA and WEC Champion Ryan Dalziel, former Rolex 24 winner Kyle Tilley, 2024 BTCC Champion Jake Hill, and historic racing champion, and ex British GT and Le Mans racer Oliver Bryant.

Oliver Bryant ahead of the Shake Down said:

“I’m delighted to be joining Era Motorsport in their new Ferrari 296 GT3 for selected rounds of the Creventic 24H series in 2025,”

“It has been 10 years since I last raced a GT3 car so I’d like to thank Kyle and Dwight for this opportunity. I’ve shared a car with Jake Hill before and have a great relationship with Kyle, having won a championship together this year.”

“Ryan is a proven winner so as a team we’ll have the right mix of speed and experience.”

Finally, Tilley is excited not only to be back behind the wheel in professional endurance racing but also to see Era expand once again in a new direction.

“I’m excited for the 2025 season with the new Ferrari 296! The car looks stunning, and it has a lot of carryover from our existing LMP2, thanks to the Oreca build. I truly believe that both the Ferrari and the Creventic series will be a fantastic place for Dwight to master the car, and I’m looking forward to helping him in this next phase of his racing career.”
