The 24-year-old joins the Italian manufacturer’s roster of so-called Competizioni GT drivers on the back of successes in its one-make challenge series and the GT World Challenge Europe.
Neubauer took the overall title at the Ferrari Challenge world finals at Imola in 2022 and last year won the support race for the 488 Challenge Evo at the Le Mans 24 Hours, a round of the European series,
He was Silver Cup champion in the 2019 GTWCE Sprint Cup driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for the Auto Sport Promotion team and won the same class in the Endurance Cup leg of the series at the wheel of a WRT-run Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II in 2022.
Ferrari sportscar racing boss Antonello Coletta said: “We are pleased to welcome Thomas to our family, a driver who has had the opportunity to claim some important triumphs and achievements both in the Ferrari Challenge and in endurance racing — he has proved to be a talent with great potential in this field as well.
“We are confident that Thomas, as he becomes part of the group of official drivers, will make a significant contribution to achieving our ambitious goals.”
Neubauer described joining Ferrari as “an honour and a responsibility”.
“Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to get to know the Ferrari universe from the inside by participating in the single-marque championship,” he said.
“Many of my best memories from the last few seasons are linked to the Ferrari Challenge and the Finali Mondiali in Imola in 2022 when I won the title in the Trofeo Pirelli.
“Reaching that goal in Italy, in front of such a passionate motorsport crowd was a thrill I will never forget.”
