Maranello, 13th November 2006

Behind the wheel of a Ferrari F430 GTC Michele Bartyan scooped the first title at the GT Open international and at the Spanish Grand Tourism at the same time. Thanks to the victory achieved together with Alessandro Pierguidi on the Barcelona racetrack on the last weekend.

The list of successes scored by cars developed by the Corse Clienti department at Maranello gets longer. Immediately in its first season the F430 GTC of the GT2 was able to prove successful in the Italian and British GT Championships in addition to the American Le Mans Series, where Risi Competizione won the Team title with five wins in ten races.

Meanwhile, in the FIA GT Series (with its last race of the season on the next weekend) the Constructors' Title, Ferrari has already been arithmetically scooped. In the GT2 category the AF Corse and their F430 GTCs won the Team Title. Amato Ferrari's Team showed up with a novelty at the Dubai race, the last one in the season, drawing up with the Finn Toni Vilander substituting for Matteo Bobbi, also considering what occurred beforehand on the Adria race track.
