Preview of Ferrari Racing Days - 6th June 18:51pm GMT

The English race track of Silverstone will host the "Ferrari Racing Days" during the upcoming weekend. Over the weekend races of the European Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli, exclusively for F430, and the Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge, dedicated to the historical cars with the Prancing Horse and open also for cars from Maserati, will be held.

Amongst the participants of the third round in the Ferrari Challenge there is also Bruno Senna, nephew of three-time Formula One champion Ayrton Senna. The young Brazilian, this year driving in the GP2 championship behind the wheel of a F430, will challenge the usual participants of the Challenge Europe. On the advent of the race in Silverstone in the overall standings the Italian Max Blancardi (Motor/Malucelli) is leading in front of Irishman Michael Cullen (Rossocorsa) and the Swiss Henri Moser (Kessel Racing). In the Shell Cup, reserved for the Gentleman Drivers, the Monegasque Philippe Prette (Baron Service) is leading the classification.

Besides the races in Silverstone also cars maintained by the F1 Clienti department in Maranello will drive some free laps. Standing out amongst these cars are a F1-90 (ex Mansell), a car, which gained the Pole Position for the British GP in the year 1990 exactly on this circuit, and eight world champion cars, from the F399 to the F2004.

The circuit in Northamptonshire will be the location of this season's first appearance of the FXX Program, a program cared for, like the others, by the Ferrari Corse Clienti department.

At the weekend there will also be some space for the street cars from Maranello in two parades: while the first one - within the frame of the 20th anniversary of this prestigious model - is dedicated to the Ferrari F40, the second one tries to set a record for the Guinness Book for a meeting of the most cars from Ferrari ever, with more than 300 cars with the Prancing Horse to be expected on the race track on Saturday, 9th June.
