SPA, May 6th – At the end of the FIA WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, Giancarlo Fisichella and Gianmaria Bruni on AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 #51 gained the second position of the GTE Pro category after a very tight race and affected by the changeable weather. The two Italian drivers were very fast from the free practices to the chequered flag of the race and had the important final result with a very small gap from the first of category (just 0.6 second). The AF Corse 458 #51 is the first among the Ferrari cars.
Andrea Bertolini and Olivier Beretta, on AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 #71, were fourth of the GTE Pro category. Another important podium result was the third place in the GTE Am category thanks to the great performance of Piergiuseppe Perazzini, Marco Cioci and Matt Griffin. Their AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 #81 was protagonist of a palpable fast race and they were the first crew among the Fer- rari GTE Am cars in the Belgian endurance race. Perazzini-Cioci-Griffin are also engaged in the Le Mans Series 2012 and the “6H of Spa” was its debut in the FIA WEC.
During the warm-up the AF-Waltrip Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 #61 – driven by Robert Kauffman, Rui Aguas and Brian Vickers – went off the track and the damages forced to the withdrawal. After two races of the FIA WEC, Ferrari is in the second position of the manufacturer GTE cham- pionship with 67 points (just 1 point under the top). In the classification of the GTE Pro team, AF Corse is in the first position.

RACE 1, a winning triplet, a faster than fast Yvan Muller leads them all, followed by Robert Huff and Alain Menu helped along by the knock out of Gabriele Tarquini that happened after just one curve.
The Italian pilot, who appeared to be the only one able to fight back the American sedans, tried to attack Robert Huff on the outside of the first pull ahead, but the subsequent contact with the British pilot damaged the left rear suspension of his Seat Leon, forcing him to raise the white flag.
An unfortunate Race 1 for Stefano D’Aste who ended up in last place.
In Race 2, our pilots had to settle for staying behind the lines, except for Alain Menu’ who showed his expertise with a race of shrewdness where he managed to win second place, just behind Michelisz who had the home court advantage. Sixth Gabriele Tarquini, followed by Robert Huff and Stefano D’Aste.
The current champion Yvan Muller came in only tenth place!!
Next date in Austria the weekend of May 19/20 and let’s hope for another triple win!!!
