The Ferrari Open series took place on Saturday at Silverstone in bright sunny conditions and with FF Corse entries for Richard Bramham, Robert Macfarlane, Cliff Fox and Leon Price.
FF Corse drivers looking relaxed
Leon qualified on pole position for the class, ahead of some of the newer, more powerful Ferrari 458 Challenge cars. In the race he battled hard with the 458 Challenge cars and eventually finished second overall, winning the class. Cliff Fox was the next FF Corse driver home, having driven a drama free race in his Ferrari 430 GT3. Richard Bramham made an excellent race debut in his Ferrari F430 and also battled with the 458 Challenge cars before a mid-race spin lost him some time and places. Last-time-out winner Robert Macfarlane drove very well to record another class podium with second overall in the 360 Challenge class.
