Beneath the floodlights of the Saudi circuit on the shores of the Red Sea, Ferrari brought the GT World Challenge Europe – Endurance Cup to a close, securing five titles. These included the coveted overall Pro Cup Drivers’ winners’ laurels, claimed by Alessandro Pier Guidi and Alessio Rovera, and the Teams’ title, won by AF Corse – Francorchamps Motors.
The excitement of the 6 Hours of Jeddah, the fifth and final round of the 2024 Endurance Cup season, can be relived in a video recounting a weekend where the 296 GT3 cars took centre stage. The event unfolded across the 6.174-kilometre layout of the Corniche Road circuit.
From the free practice sessions through to qualifying – with pole position claimed by the 296 GT3 number 51, driven in the race by Pier Guidi, Rovera, and Davide Rigon – and culminating in six hours of drama and adrenaline-filled racing, the video narrates the sporting chronicle and reveals the behind-the-scenes of the 6 Hours of Jeddah. The race was also a cause for celebration for Sky Tempesta Racing, crowned champions of the Teams’ Bronze class. Their drivers, Jonathan Hui, Christopher Froggatt, and Eddie Cheever, came out on top of the Drivers’ standings (Endurance Cup and combined classifications) in the same category.

00:00First session done in Gela. Honestly, it was mega. I think this street circuit is very
00:21different from what we used to have. I think it fits pretty well the Ferrari, the 296.
00:26And let's finish on a high this season.
00:28We're fighting in this last round for the championship. Amongst the competitors is the
00:3352 Ferrari. We're hoping to come out on top.
00:36You know, in Monza, we were leading the race and Jeff had a problem. But anyway, we turned
00:42the page. We are here. We have to try to maximise all our performance.
00:48The track actually is pretty nice, especially when we are alone, we can find the lap time.
00:53We are not so used to be so close to the wall, so take a bit of lap. But honestly, our car
00:58was pretty fine since the beginning.
01:00We are just three points behind Aston Martin, 0-0-7. So yeah, we are here to try to win
01:06this race, but especially to try to win the championship.
01:13With the pole position, we score one point and it's important. We are very close, six
01:17hours in front of us. I don't know exactly what to expect because in a track like this,
01:21there can be a lot of nitrous oxidation, safety car, Focusello, so everything can change in
01:25any moment. It could be my third title in GT World Challenge. We try to stay in front
01:31till the end.
01:55We are here. We are here. We are here. We are here. We are here. We are here. We are
