Re: Daytona - 2017..

I was told by the #2 Risi mechanic Miles Bradly that the Risi Ferrari has not yet dropped out of a race since they started using the 488 and he said the Risi 488 is the highest mileage 488 in top tier endurance racing...contrary to some, the Risi 488 didn't drop out of the race at COTA, with ten min...
