Sam Smeeth made a dramatic impact on the final two rounds of the European Ferrari Challenge at Mugello over the weekend. The FF Corse driver finished second in the first race before going on to win the second race.
The races were held as part of the Ferrari World Finals and can be seen on Motors TV the week beginning November 16th.
The results were ever the more impressive by the fact Sam has not raced the Ferrari since his victory in the European series at Silverstone in September 2014.
The team are now focused on a full-time return back into the European Challenge for 2016 and are working hard to attract other UK drivers to partner alongside Sam for the campaign.
The World Finals at Mugello saw the announcement of the full 2016 European Ferrari Challenge calendar, with the headlines being the Le Mans support race in June and the World Finals at the historic Daytona circuit in Florida.
