Ferrari emotions with the Historic Challenge at Le Mans
The circuit of Le Mans, a unique and fascinating race track,
on which Ferrari gained some of its most prestigious victories
in its motor sports history, was the stage of the third run
of the Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge. The race was held
in the frame of the “LM Story 2007” event, where
French Prime Minister François Fillon was present.
On the final day of the weekend race 2 of grid A (for single-seaters)
was won by the Maserati 6CM (1937) with Willi Balz, while
Max Werner, behind the wheel of a Maserati 300 S (1955) gained
victory in the second run of grid B (sport-prototype and GT
cars equipped with drum brakes). After yesterday’s victory
in race 1 of grid C of the Ferrari 312 PB (1972) with Irvine
Laidlaw, today it was Jean Guittard, with a Ferrari 512 BB
LM (1980), winning the race.
On Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th July the Ferrari Corse Clienti
events will proceed with the fifth run of the Italian Ferrari
Challenge Trofeo Pirelli racing series at the Autodromo Internazionale
in Mugello, the same weekend as the sixth run of the DTM championship
at this track. Emotions will fly high during a demonstration
of the Scuderia Ferrari with Luca Badoer behind the wheel.
