FF Corse driver Gary Eastwood wins on debut with Ferrari 458 Challenge aero kit
FF Corse driver Gary Eastwood took two wins in the first two rounds of the Ferrari Open at the weekend. The races, held at Norfolk’s Snetterton Circuit at the weekend, were the debut of the FF Corse aero kit and saw Gary’s 458 Challenge lap 3 seconds a lap faster than last year’s previously held lap record.
Mick Dwane added further success to the FF Corse team; finishing 2nd overall in race 2 and setting fastest lap along the way in his Ferrari 458 Challenge.
Jacques Duyver also drove a fantastic race. After pitting for rain tyres on the warm-up lap of race 2 and starting from the pit-lane, he battled his way through the field to 3rd position overall, setting the fastest pace in the rain. Midway through the race the track dried out and finally his wet tyres went off, although he still battled on for a 5th plaace finish overall and 2nd in class.
FF Corse stalwart Ian Hartley had a frustrating weekend. After setting the pace for class two in testing he was the innocent bystander in a first corner incident in race 1, which damaged his rear wing and eliminated him from the race.
The next round of the Ferrari Open is at Silverstone on April 28th
