Ferrari at Misano this weekend
This weekend, the World Circuit at Misano Adriatico hosts
the second round of the 2007 Italian Ferrari Challenge Pirelli
Trophy and the European series of this one-make championship,
both of which feature the Shell Cup for gentlemen drivers.
The two series, each run over six events prior to ending
at the Ferrari World Finals, feature the F430 as sole vehicle
after the 360 Modena bowed out last year at the end of a brilliant
racing career.
In total there will be over eighty cars taking to the track,
as from tomorrow, Friday 20 April, with the first sessions,
prior to races on Saturday and Sunday. The formula for the
competition consists of forty minute races, including the
usual obligatory pit stop to guarantee spectacle and excitement
in the pit lane, as well as allowing for cars to be crewed
by two drivers taking turns at the wheel. Going into the Misano
round, the classification of the Italian Ferrari Challenge
Pirelli Trophy is headed by Vito Postiglione (team Motor/Malucelli,)
while the leader in the Shell Cup is Sandro Mucelli (Stile
F Service.) In the European series, the lead in each category
is held by Frenchman Ange Barde (Stradale Automobile) and
Italy’s Walter Forer (Rossocorsa/Pellin) respectively.
