It was a weekend of thrills and spills as the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli season started at Silverstone (5, 6, 7 May) with a pole position and podium finish for the GB team.
In the first round of the 2006 season, the UK played host to a field of more than 50 Ferrari F430 Challenge cars making their Championship racing debut and the British crowds saw a weekend of adrenaline-filled racing through sunshine and showers.
Ferrari Challenge racing combines the excitement of wheel-to-wheel racing with the luxury of Ferrari hospitality and lifestyle as the drivers compete on Grand Prix circuits across Europe.
In the first of the four Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli races, Ross Kaiser (car 27) was fourth on the grid, while Phil Andrews (car 28) was on row 6. As the race started Kaiser pushed hard and in the rain set a furious pace, recording the fastest time in sector three but was unfortunate to come off the track and end Saturday with just one point and a damaged car. Phil Andrews climbed steadily from 12th on the grid and brought the car home in 9th place in difficult track conditions.
The second race of the weekend was the Shell Cup, with Ferrari Challenge Dealer Team GB driver Borislav Maleti�� (car 89) starting from row 12 on the grid and successfully completing his first competitive race as a Ferrari driver ahead of nine drivers.
