FERRARI AND AF CORSE MOTOROLA 2007 FIA GT2 CHAMPIONS
The Ferrari F430 GT cars run by Amato Ferrari’s team took their fourth one-two finish of the season with the crew of Dirk Muller-Toni Vilander first past the chequered flag ahead of teammates Bruni-Ortelli.
For the record, the GT1 class which did not feature any Maranello built cars, was won by the Maserati of Montanari-Ramos ahead of the Aston Martin of Wendlinger-Sharp and the Corvette of Kumpen-Longin.
In GT2, Ferrari’s constructors’ title was also the result of other teams who ran a further three Ferrari F430 GTs developed by the Corse Clienti department, which together filled the top five places in the classification. Leading the GT2 drivers table are Muller-Vilander on 63 points, second are Ortelli-Bruni with 52, followed by Collard-Malucelli on 50.
With two races remaining and 20 points to play for, AF Corse Motorola is thus also closing on the drivers’ crown. The next round takes place over the weekend of 30 September at Nogaro in France.
“Great, great, great,” commented Dirk Muller.
“The best car I have ever driven, simply fantastic.” Toni Vilander adds. “This takes our number of wins to five this season. With this car, this team and these Michelins, we were unbeatable today.”
Gianmaria Bruni: “I am happy with this second place and especially for contributing today’s points to winning the team and constructors’ championship.”
Stephane Ortelli: “It was good to finish second and thus get ahead of Collard-Malucelli in the drivers’ classification. Now we hope to continue in the same vein in the next two races.”
