News From Italy & Spain
Gabriele Tosi and Sergio Fonseca have been digging
through press releases and magazines for the latest news from the
continent.
Autosprint
in Italy suggests that Loris Kessel Racing will enter a Ferrari
575 (probably) or a 550 in the Italian GT Championship, with Kessel
himself and Andrea Chiesa at the wheel.
Still with big
Ferraris, and again either a 550 or a 575, for former Porsche Club
Driver Max Cattori and LaVecchia, in Itralian GTs, while Lamborghini
Trophy driver Vincenzo Tirella is expected to enter a Lamborghini
Gallardo in some FIA GT rounds.
Diesel engines may or may not be the power plant for future LMP1
cars, but the Campionato Italiano Prototipi will see a 2.0 diesel
mounted in a Sighinolfi prototype.
According to the Spanish magazine Auto Hebdo Sport, Scuderia
Cavallino isn't going to enter two 575 GTCs in the FIA GT Championship
(as the team originally stated in a press presentation at Barcelona).
The team will now run two Ferrari 360 GTCs (so that should help
balance out the two classes). Alberto Cano's team has two drivers
confirmed: Iñaki Goiburu and Marcel Costa.
The Spanish
team apparently wants two famous, international (ex- Ferrari F1drivers)
for the second car, and it is apparently talking to Jacky Ickx and
Patrick Tambay!
