Ferrari 458 GT3 at Donington
 |
Gary Eastwood & Rob Barff had a fantastic finish to the British GT season with a second consecutive 2nd place finish at the Donington Park Finale yesterday. The FF Corse driver pairing have scored consistently on the podium over the latter half of the season.
The weekend started well with the team appearing at the top of the time sheets in the first Free Practice, before qualifying in 4th place for the race. Gary started the race and got into the lead, before a 15 second pit-stop success penalty (a carry over from finishing second at the last round in Zandvoort) moved Rob Barff back to third. Rob worked his way back into second and into contention for the win, before eventually having to settle for 2nd, some five seconds behind the winner (despite the penalty).
The second place finish overall saw the team finish as the highest placed Ferrari in the Championship, a direct result of out-scoring all the other teams in the last three rounds of the Championship.
