FF Corse supported Ferrari 458 GT3 takes pole position and leads race
The FF Corse supported Ferrari 458 GT3 driving team of Rob Barff, Leon Price, Jordan Grogor and Charlie Hollings, took pole position for last weekend’s grueling Dubai 24hr race, ahead of grid of 73 starting entries.
The race marked the International debut in a 24hr race for the FF Corse team. And a qualifying lap time of 2:02.092, set by Rob Barff in the second session, was good enough to take pole position and lead the race against a grid of very strong and Internationally renowned competition.
As the car headed into darkness the team looked very well placed to secure a great result.
Unfortunately disaster struck 5hrs in and after 142 laps.
Following a collision whilst lapping a slower car, the gearbox internals and a driveshaft became damaged.
The result of which left the car with no drive to the rear wheels. The #12 car was out and the dream of a debut victory was in tatters.
