This Ferrari 360 Challenge was delivered new to its native Italy, where it was immediately thrust into competition use. Purchased by Massimo Di Risio, he used the car in Italian Pirelli Challenge. Its racing history is chronicled by an accompanying ACI passport, showing that it raced at a handful of events at circuits across Italy, including Monza, Mugello, Misano, Vallelunga, and Imola. Its most successful seasons was while it was driven by Nicola Gianniberti who won the Italian Pirelli Challenge that year. Subsequently, it finished 4th at the world finals at Misano.

Acquired by the prior owner in 2017, the 360 Challenge had undergone a major service the year before and had only been driven an additional 50 km by 2018. This service included overhauling the gearbox and fitting it with new seals, oil pump, and bearings. Furthermore, the timing belt was replaced along with the belt tensioner, and the car also received a new oil filter as well as clutch and crankshaft seals. That year, the car was acquired by Mr. Guikas through RM Sotheby’s and it has accrued minimal milage since.

In May 2021, this 360 Challenge underwent the Ferrari Classiche certification program and today is accompanied by its Red Book. Ferrari’s “Challenge” series has been a resounding success worldwide since its inception, and retired racing cars can be excellent track-day toys. This wonderful 360 Challenge is no exception.
