GB Team Takes Flag in Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli

Ferrari GB took the chequered flag for the first time this season with a perfect first and second place in the Spanish sunshine as the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli moved to Valencia (2,3,4 June).

In the second round of the 2006 season, the racing was tough in temperatures of 28°C and the Ferrari Challenge Dealer Team GB worked hard in qualifying to ensure that both cars in the Trofeo Pirelli dominated the front row of the grid with pole position and second place.

Since the opening round in the rain at Silverstone in May, when Ross Kaiser took pole position and a podium finish, the Ferrari Challenge Dealer Team GB has nearly doubled in size with two new drivers joining Ross Kaiser in the Trofeo Pirelli (Christian Passuti and Lorenzo Casè) and Geoff Farmer joining Borislav Maletic in the Coppa Shell.

The Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli features the Ferrari F430 Challenge race car and all cars are provided by Ferrari S.p.A. to the same technical specification. In 2006 The Ferrari 360 Challenge car will also feature in the Coppa Shell before retiring from the championship at the end of the season.
