TALKING ABOUT FERRARI: Team Maranello Concessionaires revealed the full details of its assault on the 2003 FIA GT Championship last week during an historic re-launch of the famous team at the newly refurbished Tower Garage in Egham, Surrey – the home of Maranello Sales Limited and the original headquarters of Ferrari UK.
Before a 200-strong audience, which included many famous team drivers from earlier eras, the team unveiled its two 360 GT race cars in their all-new ‘Cambridge Blue & Ferrari Scarlet’ livery. It also introduced its five young British drivers, its sponsors and technical partners and announced an exclusive TV agreement with Sky Sports.
The modern re-incarnation of the famous Maranello Concessionaires Racing Team of the 1960s and 70s, the new Team Maranello Concessionaires (TMC) will be managed and operated by Brackley-based Veloqx Motorsport.
"Outside of Formula 1, nothing in motor sport can demonstrate the Ferrari brand strengths so effectively as sport scar racing," commented Richard Mackay, Managing Director of Ferrari UK. "By combining the expertise of Veloqx Motorsport with the race-winning potential of the 360 GT, the proven driving talents of five young British race aces, and the backing of Ferrari UK, we are confident that TMC is going to be a great team to carry the Maranello name and colours in this exciting 10-race, pan-European Championship."
