Le Vigeant (Poitou-Charentes), 6th June 2009

Two months after the season’s first race, held at Monza, today the Circuit du Val De Vienne was the stage for the second day on the track of the drivers taking part in the European series of the Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge. The Championship’s second race for historical cars is part of the “Sport et Collection - 500 Ferrari contre le cancer” event, founded in 1995, to collect money for cancer research.

Today the cars went on the track for the second session to get to know the French track. The afternoon’s qualifying set the order for the following first race’s starting grid.





At the end of the race for the cars with drum and disk brakes, grid “A” was won by Stefan Schollwoeck, behind the wheel of a 1932 Maserati 4CM, followed by Gigi Baulino with a Maserati 250 F (1954) and Nicolas Zapata with a Ferrari 625 TR (1956). Victory for the cars in grid “B” went to the 1980 Ferrari 512 BB LM with Mister John B, followed by the F40 LM (1992) with Christian Chavy, now part of the historical car races, and the Ferrari 308 GTB (1976) with Pierangelo Masselli.
The event will end tomorrow with the second part of the races and the opportunity to admire the three historical single-seaters Maranello’s F1 Clienti department as well as the Ferrari 333 SP, the splendid car from 1993, with which Ferrari returned to the "Sport Prototype" category.
