Ferrari Challenge Europe – Baron, Smeeth and Loefflad triumph at Monza

The last race of the day culminated in a noble battle for the podium with two fierce duels, one between championship leader Thomas Loefflad and Erich Prinoth for first place and the other between Renato Di Amato and Rick Lovat for third. The race was not dominated by incessant overtaking ? rather, it was a war of nerves, based on super-fast lap times. At one point, Prinoth forced Loefflad to an error at the first chicane, but the StileF Squadra Corse driver managed to hang tough. Contact was also made between Loefflad?s 458 Challenge EVO and the Ineco MP Racing car, but without major repercussions. With his eye on third place, Lovat attacked at the last lap and both the Canadian from Kessel Racing and Di Amato (CDP Team) went wide at the first chicane. Despite being without his rear bumper, Di Amato succeeded in taking third place on the podium. Prinoth, second, took home the Gentlemen?s Cup for drivers over-55, while the Ladies? Cup went to Manuela Gostner, who was ninth overall. The next race takes place later this month at Mugello.
