F&M Motorsport at the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix & Ferrari Challenge North America
The 2024 Las Vegas F1 Grand Prix brought high-speed action to the city, but for Ferrari fans, a key highlight was the Ferrari 296 Challenge. As Ferrari preservation, restoration, and performance specialists, F&M Motorsport was excited to see this machine up close at the Wynn.
Ferrari 296 Challenge at the Wynn Las Vegas
One of the most talked-about attractions during the weekend was the Ferrari 296 Challenge, displayed at the Wynn Hotel. This track-focused car blends performance and design in a stunning package.
The 296 Challenge is Ferrari’s latest single-make race car, dropping the hybrid system from the road-going 296 GTB and running a pure V6 that delivers 690 horsepower. With over 1,918 lbs. of downforce at 155 mph, it is built for speed and precision.
- Lightweight Design – Carbon fiber components and a stripped-down interior for a better power-to-weight ratio.
- Upgraded Braking – CCM-R brakes provide superior stopping power under race conditions.
- Aerodynamic Enhancements – A large rear wing, aggressive front splitter, and optimized airflow for maximum grip.

Las Vegas Grand Prix: A Unique Street Circuit
The Las Vegas GP featured a 3.8-mile circuit running through iconic landmarks. Long straights and tight corners made for plenty of overtaking action. Ferrari’s F1 team delivered a strong performance, keeping fans engaged throughout the weekend.
While F1 cars took center stage, the Ferrari Challenge North America series gave privateers a chance to test their skills on the same circuit.
Ferrari SF21: Formula 1 on Display
Another highlight for Ferrari fans was the Ferrari SF21 on display at Caesars Palace. This pre-2022 F1 car features a 1.6L V6 turbo hybrid engine with around 1,000 horsepower. It was one of Ferrari’s last designs before the latest F1 regulation changes.
The SF21’s aerodynamics, suspension, and hybrid powertrain reflect Ferrari’s constant innovation in motorsport. Seeing it in person was a special moment for fans who appreciate the engineering behind Ferrari’s racing efforts.
