Ferrari Racing Days got underway today at France's Paul Ricard HTTT circuit at Le Castellet. Taking to the track were historic Formula 1 cars run by the Maranello F1 Clienti department, the FXX cars of the similarly named programme for "owner-test drivers" and the F430s competing in the Italian and European Ferrari Challenge Pirelli Trophy championships, now on their final and penultimate rounds respectively, before they come together again for the grand final at the 2007 Ferrari World Finals to be held at Mugello from 24 to 28 October.

In the Italian series, Giorgio Sernagiotto (Motor) and Nicola Gianniberti (Motor/Sauro) set the quickest times in the two qualifying sessions, ahead of Nicola Cadei (Rossocorsa) and Lorenzo Bontempelli (Rossocorsa) respectively. In the Shell Cup for gentlemen drivers, the quickest in both qualifying sessions was Giorgio Massazza (Rossocorsa.)

As for the European series, Switzerland's Henri Moser (Kessel Racing) and France's Jean-Marc Bachelier (Ferrari GB Dealer Team) will start from pole in the Pirelli Trophy and the Shell Cup in the race-2 events on the main day.

Sky Italia will show the four races scheduled for tomorrow live, starting at 9.30 on the SKY Sport 2 channel and from 15.45 on SKY Sport Extra (repeat of the two Italian series races on SKY Sport 2 on Wednesday 5 September at 22.30.)
