Trace the Ferrari 488 GTE and GTE Evo endurance programme, including works chassis 3816, FIA WEC history, and chassis-linked sale evidence.
What to check before buying
Reconcile chassis and race logbooks with team records and category eligibility. Ask for engine and gearbox hours, rebuild invoices, spares inventories, and records of changes to Evo specification.
Works chassis 3816, Iron Lynx chassis 3858, and the unsold Monaco GTE Evo each have a different race record and sale outcome.
