Round 1 & 2: Snetterton – Race Report
Shamus Jennings, Peter Jennings and Christian Andersson took part in the first two rounds of the Ferrari Open Series at Snetterton this weekend. The three FF Corse drivers qualified line-astern for the first race on then “300” circuit, with Peter qualifying ahead and in fifth position overall. In the race Shamus Jennings seized the initiative by passing Christian at the start and Peter around the outside at Coram curve to lead the trio on lap one. Peter took the position back a couple of laps later before Shamus and Christian settled into a race long battle, with Peter topping the group at the chequered flag in 5th position.
The second race, held on Sunday, took place on the shorter “200” circuit. Qualifying took place in tricky conditions with the fastest laps set on slick tyres right at the end of the session. Peter again qualified the best of the FF Corse trio, with father Shamus alongside. At the start of the race Shamus took over sixth place (after Peter was forced to retire with an engine fault) and meanwhile and Christian was charging up through the field after a difficult qualifying session. By lap 4 he was on Shamus’ tail and battling, a position he would hold to the flag, with Shamus coming home a strong 5th.
The next round of the Ferrari Open Series is at Donington on May 19. For further information contact Anthony Cheshire at FF Corse on 01327 857601 or email acheshire@ffcorse.com.
