Pre-Season Lunch
The last 10 days have seen the pre-season FF Corse lunch on Sunday February 28th , followed by a 2 day event at Jerez and the first Silverstone track-day – a busy start to the year, which is set to only get even busier as the track-day and race season unfolds.
Le Manoir in Oxfordshire made a fantastic setting for second pre-season lunch and the event was attended by 30 FF Corse members and guests – the maximum number possible in their private dining facility. The lunch and service was excellent as expected and it was great to see so many old and new faces.
FF Corse member Russ Nathan commented “ FF Corse has truly established itself and the lunch marked its coming of age”
All guests received copies of the FF Corse hardback year books featuring photographs of FF Corse drivers and cars from events and races throughout 2010. Copies of the books will also be sent out this week to members and drivers who were unable to join us at Le Manoir.
Jerez
Straight from Le Manoir the previous day, FF Corse members flew down to Jerez for some pre-season testing in Southern Spain. The weather for the event was excellent and with only a handful of cars in attendance, the track space and time provided the perfect opportunity to blow away winter cob-webs. The good conditions also enabled the drivers and team to test a series of new development parts on the cars.
FF Corse is considering a return to Jerez next year and has already provisionally made enquiries and hopes to again run another similar event.
