    One car, the newly delivered 458 GT3 car is a Michelotto factory car.

    The others, they have several of them are 458 challenge cars with a endurance transkit made bei their own.

    Okay
    The black/yellow car was the GT Corse then?
    The complete red car was much quicker, but SLS, Z4, R8 and Porsche were much faster (race mode), maybe when they race it a few times more, testing, adjusting etc they are able for a top 5 finish.

    Did the 458s compete in the 24 Hour race?

    What about the Ford GT?

    Hello Tom

    Yes, yellow black was the 458 Challenge "Endurance" Version running in SP8 class

    The red was the pure FIA-GT3, running in SP9 ==> an they have finished in 5th position overall :) Not bad for the secon trial in VLN ............ compared to the Mc Larens and others

    Rennen - 45. ADAC Barbarossapreis

    Yes it is the first race with a factory michelotto GT3 and they did well! I hope AF Corse will run two cars for the 24h race but I doubt it. maybe they need to re-engineer the suspension like James Glickenhaus did with the 430 / P4/5c. I read that Rowe Racing (SLS GT3) had problems with the organization regarding BoP.
