F430 Scuderia latest Ferrari to take on FIA GT3
Click above for a gallery of the Kessel Racing F430 Scuderia GT3
Try and follow us if you can. Ferrari built the F430, which in turn led to the development of the F430 Challenge. That eventually turned into the F430 Scuderia, and now Kessel Racing has built the F430 Scuderia GT3. It's a road car turned race car turned road car turned race car. Got that? If anything, it's a great example of the extent to which motorsports is intertwined with Ferrari's DNA. Pending approval from the FIA, the Swiss race team plans to field the car in the GT3 class and take on Lamborghini, Corvette, Aston Martin, Porsche, Ford, and more. Two other teams, JMB Racing and CRS Racing, have also expressed interest in competing with the car as well. If everything goes as planned, the Scuderia GT3 will make its debut during the first race of the season on May 3 at Silverstone.

But can it make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?

For the last time,
There is no such thing as F430 Scuderia...it's called 430 Scuderia!

When are they going to take a Chevrolet Lacetti into GT3? I'm looking forward to that day.

Another one to be defeated by the Ford GT, eheheheh. Lets see this year, rules have been changed on Fia GT3 Brazil to make things harder for the GT, it took the first place on 7 of the 8 races last year...

Sorry.....you need to update your information. Overall FIA World GT3 Champion for 2008 was the Martini Callaway Corvette ZO6R, entered by Callaway Competition.
Corvette is the best car in this series for now. But I am very glad to see Ferrari and Audi joining the series which is based on actual street car. Corvetgte won the overall championship by beating the Fords in Dubai....the last race.

Jerry, I was refering to FIA GT3 Brazil. As for the Fia GT3 European Championship, you are right, the Corvette took the trophy, but also the Matech Team, which runs with Ford GTs, took the trophy for the Team Championship.
