Today was the final day of the opening round at the Monza circuit of the 2007 Italian and European Ferrari Challenge Pirelli Trophy, featuring the F430 cars.

In the Italian series, race-1 ended with victory going to Vito Postiglione, with the Motor/Malucelli driver crossing the finish line ahead of Nicola Cadei (Rossocorsa) and Andrea Belluzzi (Motor.) Among the gentlemen drivers in the Shell Cup, victory went to the crew of Reichegger/Ferroni (Rossocorsa/Pellin.)

The afternoon race went to Postiglione from Nicola Gianniberti (Motor / Sauro) and Cadei, second and third respectively. Shell Cup honours belonged to Vanni Campari (Motor / Sauro.)


After wins yesterday for Max Blancardi in the Pirelli Trophy and Philippe Prette in the Shell Cup, today saw competitors in the European one-make series tackle their second races.

In the main category, it was Ireland's Michael Cullen (Rossocorsa) who won, fighting off France's Ange Barde (Stradale Automobile) and Germany's Bjorn Grossmann (Autohaus Gohm,) while in the Shell Cup it was the Italian Walter Forer (Rossocorsa/Pellin) who made it to the top step of the podium.

The next round of this season's Italian and European Ferrari Challenge Pirelli Trophy will once again take place at the same meeting, at Misano Adriatico over the weekend of 21-22 April.
