Historic Challenge: wins for Werner, Franklin, Bosch and
Fertè at Hockenheim
The Jim Clark Revival meeting came to a close at Hockenheim
on this the main day of the international event featuring
historic cars, including those from Ferrari. Testing themselves
against the German circuit were drivers in the European Shell
Ferrari Historic Challenge, a championship which, since 1999,
has also been open to Maseratis. The event also featured a
display of 10 Ferrari single-seaters from the past, which
was coordinated by Maranello’s F1 Clienti department.
This was the season curtain-raiser for the continental series
and it saw wins in grids A+B (single-seaters, sports-prototypes
and GT cars fitted with drum brakes) for local driver Max
Werner in race-1 in his 1955 Maserati 300 S and for another
300 S (1954,) out on track in the hands of British driver,
David Franklin, in the second race.
As for group C (cars with disc brakes,) wins in the two races
were split between the 1981 Ferrari 512 BB LM of Dutchman,
John Bosch and the 1970 Ferrari 512 M of France's Michel Fertè.
The European series of the Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge
will be back on track over the weekend of 4th June in Valencia,
Spain.
