The reference AV52304b from Avant Slot brings to 1:32 scale one of the most recognisable GT3 cars of the 2024 season: the Ferrari 296 GT3 with the number 51 that AF Corse lined up at the legendary Spa 24 Hours.

Scale and level of detail
Avant Slot is recognised in the industry for the meticulousness of its finishes, and this Ferrari 296 GT3 is no exception. The body faithfully reproduces the aerodynamic elements of the real car: the large rear diffuser, front splitters, side skirts, and the characteristic air intakes of the 296 GT3. The interior cockpit is also detailed, with the roll cage and interior panels visible through the windshield. The AF Corse decoration, with its red tones and the logos of the sponsors present at Spa 2024, makes this model a piece with high documentary value for collectors of modern GTs.
On-track performance
The Avant Slot chassis is designed to offer real stability in corners and good grip during braking. The independent motor mount isolates the vibrations of the power unit from the rest of the chassis, resulting in more predictable driving and fewer errors due to resonances at high speeds. The calibrated axles and well-distributed mass make the car not exhibit excessive understeer, being particularly rewarding on technical circuits with chicanes and variable radius corners. Compatibility with spare parts from Avant Slot itself facilitates the progressive preparation of the model for those who want to fine-tune its performance in club championships.
Ideal for…
- Club competitors looking for a well-balanced modern GT3 with preparation options.
- Collectors specialising in endurance cars and contemporary GT3 category.
- Motorsport enthusiasts who followed the 2024 Spa 24 Hours and want a faithful memento of the race.
- Ferrari and AF Corse fans who wish to complete their collection with an official livery.
Aspects to consider
As with all Avant Slot models, this Ferrari 296 GT3 is aimed at a user profile that values both visual detail and dynamic performance. It is recommended to check the guide pressure and the condition of the braids before each running session to ensure maximum electrical contact. If used on SPORT track (Scaleauto, Slot.it), it may be necessary to change the guide. The motor mount and axles are compatible with standard Avant Slot spare parts available in the Ministry of Hobby catalogue.
Race history: the 2024 Spa 24 Hours and the Ferrari 296 GT3 #51
The 2024 Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hours took place on the legendary Belgian track in the Ardennes, one of the most demanding and respected circuits in the endurance motorsport calendar. The 2024 edition brought together the best teams in the GT3 category in a race that tests both mechanical reliability and strategic management over a full day.
The Ferrari 296 GT3 with the number 51 was managed by AF Corse, the Italian team that has been Ferrari's competitive arm in the grand touring categories for decades. The 296 GT3 is the direct successor to the 488 GT3 and represents Maranello's commitment to the new generation of V6 twin-turbo engines applied to competition, an architecture that has proven competitive on Europe's most demanding circuits. Spa, with its combination of fast sectors like the Raidillon-Eau Rouge section, the technical corners of the middle sector, and the challenging descent towards the Bus Stop, represents the ideal setting to measure the capability of a modern GT3. The participation of the #51 in this edition reinforces AF Corse's tradition in major endurance events and makes this model especially valued among collectors of modern GTs.
Frequently asked questions
What track systems is this Avant Slot Ferrari 296 GT3 compatible with?
