Toni Vilander could not have won the 2018 Pirelli World Challenge overall GT drivers’ championship (now the Blancpain GT World Challenge America series) without excellent performance in the Sprint races. But where he and his R. Ferri Motorsports team really shined was in the SprintX races. Teamed with Miguel Molina, a driver with whom he had not partnered before, the pair and their Ferrari 488 GT3 dominated the SprintX races to bring home that championship as well with six wins and two second-place finishes in 10 races.
“When Ferrari proposed that I was going to race with [Miguel], I was happy,” Vilander says. “SprintX is a big part of the overall championship and we did some really good races together as a team.”
