GT Open – Another podium for Ferrari at Spa

Maranello, 26 June – After yesterday’s win for the Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, in the hands of Andrea Montermini and Emanuele Moncini in the first GT Open series race at Spa-Francorchamps, victory in Race 2 went to the other Scuderia Villorba Corse car, the F430 GTC driven by Marco Frezza and Cochito Lopez, for whom this was win number three this season, ensuring them the lead in the championship. The Italian-Argentine crew drove an impeccable race which saw them finish ahead of the Philipp Peter-Michal Broniszewski (Kessel Racing) 458 Italia GT2, who made it to the podium for the first time this year. Race 1 winners, Montermini and Moncini finished third this time but were then disqualified for using unmarked tyres. This left the final step of the podium free for the AF Corse Ferrari 430 GTC driven by Alessandro Garofano-Luca Rangoni. In GTS, the top spot went to the Kessel Racing 458 Italia GT3 of Stefano Gattuso and Lorenzo Bontempelli, the latter also competing in this year’s Italian series of the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli. The duo finished fourth in the category and thirteenth overall. The GT Open series is back on track right from next weekend at the Nurburgring for the fourth of eight rounds this year.
