Ferrari GB heads for another chequered flag at Spa

This weekend (23, 24, 25, June) the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium will be turned red for three exclusive Ferrari Racing Days with the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli topping the bill. The Ferrari Challenge Dealer Team GB are aiming to follow victory at the last race in Valencia (4 June) with another strong podium finish in Belgium.

Spa is a favourite track for many Ferrari drivers and it is both respected and feared by all who compete as they face not only the longest lap length in the Challenge series, but also the notorious weather conditions with the track frequently wet and dry on the same lap.

Ferrari Challenge racing is the ultimate expression of luxury lifestyle racing, bringing together the race proven technology of the Ferrari F430 Challenge car, the best hospitality, competitive racing and entertainment for our clients on and off the track. In Belgium, spectators will see in excess of 150 Ferraris of all types, from several Formula 1 cars to the Shell Historic Ferraris plus four races in the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli across the weekend. There will also be a rare public outing for a handful of the extreme Ferrari FXX cars.

Ferrari GB Managing Director Massimo Fedeli said: ‘The Ferrari Challenge offers Ferrari customers the ultimate opportunity to race the F430 Challenge with other clients, and enjoy the luxury experience of racing in true Ferrari style. At Valencia we were delighted with our 1-2 finish in the Spanish sunshine, and we’re heading to the historic Spa circuit focused on another victory for the team. This weekend we will also welcome many Ferrari owners from the UK who will take the opportunity to drive their cars on this short trip to mainland Europe to the legendary Belgian circuit.’

In a four-car team this weekend, the Ferrari Challenge Dealer Team GB will look to get on the podium again with the backing of three of the UK’s Ferrari dealers; Graypaul of Nottingham, HR Owen in London and Maranello Sales Ltd in Egham, Surrey.

Driving for Ferrari Dealer Team GB will be Ross Kaiser and Christian Passuti/Lorenzo Case in the Trofeo Pirelli, with Borislav Maleti? and Geoff Farmer competing in the Coppa Shell.

The Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli is the world’s most exclusive single-make racing series created as the perfect outlet for Ferrari owners who want to race. The 2006 season includes races in the UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, climaxing at the World Finals in Italy all delivered in the style and luxury associated with any Ferrari occasion.
