My F355 Challenge 101597

Post by ferramarc »

Hello,

Let me introduce myself.

My name is Marc, 51 from Belgium. I met some of you during the Challenge Meeting at the Modena Track days in Spa last year.
My F355 Challenge is a 1995 model with road registry. I'm the 3rd owner. The first one was Mr Oppitzhauser from Austria who raced the car in the Ferrari Challenge (I already tried to contact him without success until now). Ingo H. who raced her in some hill climbing then bought the car. We had some nice chats together.

The engine has been completely rebuilt 3 years ago for a cost of … 27.850 EUR. Yes, Ferrari is expensive, even with a nice independent specialist such as l'Officina near Brussels.

I used to go to Spa with the car. It's a wonderful track, especially with our cars. Of course, the "Eau Rouge" or "Blanchimont" are quite hot and I prefer to stay careful there ;) Here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4hGRHFyIhw

This year, I race in the European VW Fun Cup Championship. I'm currently second with my team mates (one of them is double winner of the 24 ours of Spa and the other is an ex Karting World vice-champion – yes de level is quite high ;) I plan to put my F355 Challenge back on track next year.

See you on the track the.
Marc
