Ready for a challenge on Ferrari’s home ground
After last month’s season opener at Paul Ricard, Formula Racing is ready for the next round of the Ferrari Challenge Europe – this time in front of a passionate home crowd at the legendary Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello!
“There’s something truly special about racing Ferrari Challenge on an Italian circuit. The atmosphere and passion are taken to another level at Mugello, and with such a Ferrari-dedicated crowd, everything is set for a fantastic weekend. The season opener in France was outstanding with a race win and two additional podiums, so we definitely have a strong foundation to build on this weekend,” says Race & Event Executive at Formula, Thor Qualmann.
A total of 38 Ferrari 296 Challenge cars are entered across four classes for the upcoming round at the 5.245-kilometre Mugello circuit, where Formula Racing will field nine drivers.
In the Pirelli Am class, Paul Ricard podium finisher Anders Bidstrup lines up alongside his brother Jacob and Japan’s Nobuhiro Imada. Henrik Kamstrup (Denmark), who also secured a podium in France, competes in the Coppa Shell Am class together with Lebanese driver Hassan Daboussi, Masaru Yoneda (Japan), and Hong Kong’s Charles Chan.
Former champion Eric Cheung (Canada), who made a strong return to the series with an impressive race win at Paul Ricard, will contest his 200th Ferrari Challenge race in the Coppa Shell class alongside Japan’s Ken Seto.
