Bologna, 6th December 2008

Today Ferrari was the main protagonist - with races and shows - at the 33rd International Car Show in Bologna at the area dedicated to special events.
For today's racing events the F430 of the Italian Ferrari Challenge Pirelli Trophy racing series went on the track: at the end of the three runs the winning driver of the Pirelli Trophy's main category was Nicola Gianniberti (Ineco/Ram), while the finals dedicated to the Shell Cup's gentleman drivers was won by Gianluca Carboni (Rossocorsa/Pellin).

The cars from the exclusive FXX programme and the traditional show by the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro with Luca Badoer behind the wheel of the F2008, the car which won the 16th Constuctors' World Title for the Prancing Horse, made the spectators cheer. After a pit stop simulation Badoer drove several laps behind the wheel of a Fiat 500 Abarth Assetto Corse version, which will debut in the 2009 Trophy at the same time as the Italian Ferrari Challenge Pirelli Trophy, apart from the round at the Valencia circuit, the sixth race of the European single-marque Championship.
