”Conditions were just perfect”, John Bosch explains. ”It was cold, but dry and
sunny, and the car ran without any problems. This was quite a special moment, to
be honest, to see the car for the first time and then drive it at Fiorano… It was
shaken down on Friday before the test and both Danny and I did quite some laps
on Tuesday. The support from Ferrari and the people that have built the car was
fantastic. Everybody was there to make sure all went well. The car was remarkably
easy to drive. Of course this was just the first test, but all felt well and to see the
quality of the car and how it has been built, really is very encouraging. This is the
first of the two Ferrari’s 575 GTC that we will enter in the Sebring 12 Hours, the Le
Mans 24 Hours and the Le Mans Endurance Series this year. We are nicely on
schedule. We are now finalising our pre-season testing program, while the
second car will be ready in time for Sebring. We are a new team, but I believe we
have brought together a lot of expertise and experience. As for drivers, interest is
high and we are talking to many people at the moment.” |
