GT WORLD CHALLENGE EUROPE FRONT ROW START FOR AF CORSE AT IMOLA

July 26, 2020 RNW Staff 0

The Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 no. 51 of AF Corse will start from second on the grid in the opening race of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. The crew of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Nicklas Nielsen closed the session just 144 thousandths of a second off pole despite a time that was compromised in Q1 due to the heavy traffic on the track. Their qualifying result is a bit surprising as the Balance of Performance doesn’t really favour the Maranello cars. However, the talent of the drivers reduced this handicap to a minimum. In the Pro-Am class, the 488 GT3 Evo 2020 of Sky – Tempesta Racing claimed a fantastic pole with Edward Cheever, Chris Froggatt and Jonathan Hui.
