Who Is AF Corse?
The most politically significant team in GT3 racing. Their proximity to the Scuderia means factory information and development parts flow through their garage first.
Treated as a factory operation by Ferrari, SRO, and the rest of the paddock. The distinction between AF Corse and Ferrari's own factory is administrative.

AF Corse History
Founded in 1995 by Amato Ferrari in Piacenza, Italy, AF Corse grew to become Ferrari's official global partner. The same team manages Ferrari's Le Mans-winning Hypercar programme and their GT3 customer fleet — the only operation trusted with both.
Their scale is unprecedented: Hypercar at Le Mans, GT3 across GTWCE, IMSA, and virtually every regional championship. In the WEC they race as 'Ferrari AF Corse'. In GT3, 'AF Corse'. Same mechanics. Same engineers. Same pit crews.
