Silverstone British GT – Race Report
 |
FF Corse ran three Ferrari’s successfully in the Silverstone round of the British GT Championship at the weekend. The culmination of which was all 3 cars finishing and taking two class victories. The wins came courtesy of the GTC class with Jacques Duyver & Jamie Stanley (Ferrari 458 GTC) and the GT3(B) Class with Paul McNeilly & Jamie Stanley (Ferrari F430 GT3).
Gary Eastwood and Rob Barff came away from the weekend as still the leading 2013 Ferrari 458 GT3 in the Championship. This despite a difficult race, which saw the safety car fail to pick-up the leader. This effectively put Gary a lap down, ending any chance he & Rob had for an overall victory and eventually confining them to a 12th place finish overall.
The two class winning cars meanwhile ran faultlessly further down the pack of 43 starters to take their class wins and finish line astern in 21st and 22nd place overall, both cars only 17 seconds apart after three hours of racing
The next round of the British GT Championship is at Snetterton on June 15th & 16th. For further information contact Anthony Cheshire at FF Corse on 01327 857601 or email [email protected].
