Year 2000 JMB-Racing and Michelotto attack many years of Porsche's domination

[Andi355]

Presented for the first time in Genova on March 9, 1999 during the international motor show, the Ferrari 360 Modena was rapidly developed for competition.

On July 4, MICHAEL SCHUHMACHER drove a 360 Challenge at the Nürburgring race track during the Ferrari Racing Days.

Renowned for its Sport-Prototype titles with the Ferrari 333 SP, French team JMB-Racing entered into partnership with MICHELOTTO in year 2000 for developing a FIA-GT Championship version to beat the many years of Porsche's domination.

Two years later, its competitiveness became an incentive for Ferrari to commercialize a GT verion of the Ferrari 360.

Full dedication, passion, teamwork and top level engineering marvel resulted is achieving the ultimate object:
the Ferrari 360 GT won the 2001 FIA-NGT World championship with Christian Pescatori and David Terrien, ending many years of Porsche's domination...
