First champion in challenge named
Vallelunga (Rome), 11 October 2009 – Today this Ferrari Challenge Trofeo
Pirelli season’s first champion was named at the Pietro Taruffi circuit in
Vallelunga just outside Rome: Stefano Gai, the 23-year-old Rossocorsa driver,
won the title in the Coppa Shell, the series dedicated to the gentlemen drivers,
one race ahead of the end of the season. Next to the F430s, which started in this
season’s sixth race, today the participants in the last round of the Trofeo Abarth
500 and the clients behind their own Ferrari wheels - thanks to the ‘Emozioni in
pista’ programme - went onto the track.
At the end of the two races with separate classifications Giorgio Sernagiotto
(Motor/Piacenza) won race 1 in the main category of the Trofeo Pirelli, ahead of
the Rossocorsa team drivers Marco Mapelli and Emanuele Moncini, while Marco
Mapelli won race 2, his second win this season, ahead of Giorgio Sernagiotto
and Andrea Belluzzi (Motor/Modena). Amongst the gentlemen drivers in the
Coppa Shell the first victory went to Andrea Crescentini (Motor/Piacenza),
ahead of Tommaso Rocca (Rossocorsa) and Gianluca Carboni
(Rossocorsa/Pellin), while the second race was won by Gianluca Carboni
followed by the new champion Stefano Gai and Vincenzo Sauto (Ineco/MP).

Motor/Piacenza driver Lorenzo Casé’s intervention and the collaboration of the
Autodrodomo di Vallelunga and AF Corse enabled the Rotary Club Guidonia
Montecelio and Civitavecchia to make a dream for 15 differently abled youths

come true: getting onto the track on board of a Ferrari, while raising awareness
of the Polioplus campaign, to sustain the fight against this disease.
