See you soon at the Red Bull Ring
The only series dedicated to all the past generations of Ferrari Challenge cars, from the 348 to the 458, holds the promise of great excitement.
Carefully chosen to enhance the qualities of the engines built at Maranello, four circuits are on the schedule for 2023. After the inaugural stage on the Mugello Circuit, this year the Cup will return to the Spielberg F1 track as part of the Challenge and GT Days, before rekindling the challenges after the summer break at Vallelunga and then concluding at the Misano World Circuit during the Italian Speed Festival weekend.

Winner of the 1995 Ferrari Challenge Central Europe season
Exceptional condition after being stripped down to the chassis for a complete restoration
The only one born in white color, Bianco Avus 100
Swedish title
Model for Burago
1/108 genuine Challenge factory
In total, only 108 Ferrari F355 Challenge were built between 1995 and 1998. This remarkable model is a dream for any enthusiast, especially if he or she imagines driving the 355 on the road, which would undoubtedly be one of the most sought-after. This car reached the top step of the podium in the 1995 Ferrari Challenge Central Europe. Its racing history will continue after this victory. The car has an exceptional history and its file is particularly beautiful and documented.
Also, it is the only 355 Challenge of the 108 examples produced by the factory that was born in the color 100 Bianco Avus. It will also serve as a model for the model maker, Burago, to create the model.
Anomalous fact for an ex competition car, its condition. After a 2 years restoration that started in 2017, this car is as beautiful as when it left the factory in March 1995. For this, the whole was dismantled down to the chassis in 2017 and 2018. The whole car has been completely stripped down in order to put it back in its original and most beautiful condition. An impressive work of archives was carried out upstream in order to preserve the character and the original specificities.
For these reasons, this is probably one of the most interesting examples of the Ferrari semi-classics from the point of view of a discerning Ferrari collector.
At the beginning of the 1995 Ferrari Challenge season, this car was part of the team of the Stuttgart Ferrari dealer Walter Lais, owner of the Lais Power Team. The professional driver Harald Brutschin took the wheel. He took this car to a great success by obtaining a total victory in the Ferrari Challenge Central Europe.
This 355 Challenge took the road for England. Its bodywork will change to a Rosso Corsa. Sweden will then be a new land of welcome. It will again run on the track in the Scandinavian Ferrari Challenge during the years 2002-2005. It will also be registered in Sweden to run on the road. We are in possession of its Swedish registration card.
A complete restoration was carried out during the years 2017 and 2018. The car has been completely dismantled, the chassis has been stripped and the whole mechanics has been redone. An impressive work of archives was carried out beforehand in order to ensure the conformity in an exact way. The bodywork was restored to its original color « 100 Bianco Avus ». The graphics were also redone.
During the assembly, various wearing parts were also replaced.
After renovation, the car participated in various events and exhibitions. It is now ready to join a new collection. This 355 is unique for its history, its color, and its winning record. It is indeed a true collector.

***FRANÇAIS***
Gagnante de la saison 1995 du Ferrari Challenge Central Europe
État exceptionnel suite à une mise à nue jusqu’au châssis pour une restauration complète
La seule de couleur blanche d’origine, Bianco Avus 100
Carte grise suédoise
Modèle ayant servi de maquette pour Burago
1/108 véritable Challenge usine
Au total, seules 108 Ferrari F355 Challenge ont été construites entre 1995 et 1998. Ce modèle remarquable laisse rêveur tout passionné, notamment si ce dernier imagine rouler sur route avec la 355 Challenge qui serait sans doute l’une des plus recherchée. Cet exemplaire a gravi la plus haute marche du podium du Ferrari Challenge Central Europe de 1995. Son historique de course continuera après cette victoire. L’auto possède un historique exceptionnel et son dossier est particulièrement beau et documenté.
Aussi, il s’agit de la seule 355 Challenge des 108 exemplaires produits par l’usine qui soit née dans la teinte 100 Bianco Avus. Elle servira aussi de modèle pour le fabricant de modèlisme, Burago, pour créer la maquette.
Fait antinomique pour une ex auto de compétition, son état. Après une restauration de 2 ans ayant débutée en 2017, cet exemplaire se vante d’être aussi beau qu’à sa sortie d’usine en mars 1995. Pour cela, l’ensemble fut démonté jusqu’au châssis en 2017 et 2018. L’ensemble a ainsi été mis totalement à nu afin de veiller a remettre cette auto dans son plus beau et fidèle état d’origine. Un impressionnant travail d’archive fut réalisé en amont afin de préserver le caractère et les spécificités originales.
Pour ces raisons, il s’agit probablement de l’un des exemplaires des semi-classiques les plus intéressants de Ferrari du point de vue d’un collectionneur averti.
Au début de la saison 1995 du Ferrari Challenge, cet exemplaire faisait parti de l’équipe du concessionnaire Ferrari de Stuttgart, Walter Lais, propriétaire du Team Lais Power. Ce sera le pilote professionnel Harald Brutschin qui en prendra le volant. Il emmènera cette voiture vers un grand succès en obtenant une victoire totale dans le Ferrari Challenge Central Europe.
Cette 355 Challenge pris la route pour l’Angleterre. Sa carrosserie changera de robe pour une nouvelle livrée Rosso Corsa. La Suède sera ensuite une nouvelle terre d’accueil. Elle foulera de nouveau la piste en courant au Scandinave Ferrari Challenge au cours des années 2002-2005. Elle sera aussi immatriculée en Suède pour rouler sur la route. Nous sommes d’ailleurs en possession de sa carte grise suédoise.
Une restauration complète fut réalisée durant les années 2017 et 2018. L’auto a été intégralement démonté, le châssis mis à nu et l’ensemble de la mécanique a été refaite. Un impressionnant travail d’archive fut réalisé au préalable afin de veiller à la conformité de façon exacte. La carrosserie fut remise dans sa teinte d’origine « 100 Bianco Avus ». Le graphisme a également été refait.
Lors du montage, diverses pièces d’usure ont également été remplacées.
Après rénovation, la voiture a participé à divers événements et expositions. Elle est désormais prête à rejoindre une nouvelle collection. Cette 355 est unique pour son histoire, sa couleur, et son palmarès victorieux. Il s’agit bel et bien d’un véritable collector.

Built by Ferrari Corse Clienti, leaning heavily on the race experience of Michelotto Automobili, the F430 GTC was the most advanced and developed racing iteration of the Ferrari F430. Whilst the F430 Challenge was little more than a fettled road car, the GTC was designed to compete at the highest level it could viably compete at, FIA GT2 specification.
This development would see the car competing against the likes of Aston Martin’s DBR9, Chevrolet’s Corvette C6R and Porsche’s GT3-RSR on the global stage; the FIA GT Championship, Europe and the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) as well as the standalone 24hrs Le Mans.
The GTC would take significant victories across the board, winning its class championships in the ALMS and FIA GT Championships. GTCs scored class wins at the 2007, 2009, and 2010 12 Hours of Sebring and at the 2008 and 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The preceding 360 GTC had been Ferrari’s first real foray into GT-class competition. Unusually for a replacement model, or even Ferrari Modificata evolution, the F430 GTC saw its engine displacement drop to 4.0 litres, destroked from the road variant’s 4.3 litre unit. This was to ensure the car could competitively run in the 3.8-4.0L GT2 class. The reduction in power to 439hp was compensated by a drop in overall weight.
AF Corse
AF Corse had been founded by Amato Ferrari in 1995, and whilst sharing the surname, bore no relation to Ferrari SpA. Initially entered into the Italian Superturismo Championship, AF Corse would exclusively manage Maserati’s Trofeo Cup from 2001-2005. Subsequently running the MC12 and Maserati Light Coupé, AF Corse returned to the FIA GT Championship in 2006 as Ferrari’s factory-backed racing endeavour. AF Corse would win the FIA GT title with the F430 GT2 in 2006,2007,2008 and 2009.
This F430 GTC was supplied new to AF Corse in March 2009 and was raced under the Pecom Racing banner in the FIA GT Championship that year. It was one of three F430 GTC’s that they raced and was driven by the Argentine Matthis Russo and Luis Perez Companc, wearing number 95 for the duration of the season.
This car competed in eight championship races across the globe in 2009, finishing 2nd in class at the season opener RAC Tourist Trophy Silverstone on the 3rd of May. Ending the season, Pecom Racing finished 5th in the 2009 FIA GT2 Teams Championship with AF Corse winning overall.
Luis Perez Companc finished 6th in the 2009 FIA GT2 Drivers Championship and 2nd in the 2009 Citation Cup. AF Corse won the 2009 FIA GT2 Teams Championship and as a result, Ferrari won the 2009 FIA GT Manufacturers Cup. Pecom Racing finished 5th in the 2009 FIA GT2 Teams Championship.
Race History – 2009
In 2010 the GTC was bought by LMP Motor Sport of Japan and subsequently entered into the Japanese Super GT Series. Driven by team owner Yutaka Yamagishi and Hiroshi Koizumi, the car campaigned in seven races during the season. Finishing 15th in the Drivers Championship with 10 points, the team were determined to hit the track again and did as such in 2011.
Race History – 2010
Continuing its campaign in the Japanese Super GT Series, this time clothed in a new Ika Musume design in collaboration with the animation “Shinryaku! Ika Musme”, the car was raced under the name ‘PACIFICNAC Ika Musume Ferrari’. With Hideki Yamauchi as the new driver alongside Yutaka Yamagishi, they finished 4th in the qualifier at the opening series, Okayama International, and 2nd for the Super Lap; overall finishing the race 5th. Its most successful race of the season earnt the team a place on the podium with 3rd place under their belt on the 19th of June in Malaysia.
Race History – 2011
Once again, this time for the 2012 season, the car was entered into the Japanese Super GT Series with LMP Motor Sport for what would be its last campaigned year. With Takuto Iguchi and Yutaka Tamagishi behind the wheel, this time the team clearly had the car on form and completed all eight rounds.
Race History – 2012
Hugely eligible, today this F430 GTC can be competitively entered into the Global Endurance Legends and Masters Endurance Legends race series, as well as holding a qualification for participation in the Ferrari Club Competizione GT; another event which has been gaining traction in recent years.
Recently refinished in its 2009 livery and one of just 24 F430 GTCs built, this example is accompanied by its Michelotto book pack, spare parts catalogue and document pack, this unique example presents at our showrooms outside London available for viewing immediately.
