    Default Ferrari Challenge @ Road Atlanta - April 18-19

    Ferrari Challenge is April 18-19 at Road Atlanta. The weekend will include the Ferrari F430 Challenge races, Ferrari F1 Clienti, and the FXX Program. There will be no Shell Historic Challenge at this event from what I am hearing and the schedule shows nothing for them.

    It's a FUN event, I enjoy it, last year I worked it and it was by far the most fun event I ever worked. The racing is CLOSE, and it's like Spec Miata bumper banging except with Ferrari's I love seeing CRAZY rich people be stupid lol.

    This year I believe the workers are SCCA people, I work for the track doing it. You can sign up with the SCCA and start flagging! Gives you a nice view, free stuff, and it's interesting hearing everything through the radios. Makes it hard to watch racing and not be involved lol.

    LMFAO that's awesome.

    BTW so much carnage last year, my room has enough F430 challenge parts to almost make a whole body . I have a rear diffuser from one of them that fell off, perfect condition, going on the Miata.

    It turns out I will be there now. A team out of Canada needed a mechanic, so you will find me wrenching on one of the cars next weekend.

    haha, i used to wonder the same thing, but it just started happening one day a few years ago and 1000 resumes later. some of it is word of mouth from team to team, some of it is the 1000 resumes I have out and some of it is me talking to everyone at the track making myself familiar and the rest of it is just plain hard work. This industry is extremely competitive, as it should be.

    Added dates to title Simon

    Some info for everone else.

    It seems we might have a decent showing of IA people so getting a meet in a section might not be a bad idea. Maybe near turn 6 & 7.

    Tickets are CHEAP when compared to other pro Road Atlanta events.


    Tickets On Sale At The Gate
    Saturday/Sunday: $30.00
    Sunday Only: $20.00
    Parking: $5.00




    Here's DinanM3atl's amazing photos from the 2008 event.

    No camping allowed!

    RUMOR IS NO HISTORICS THIS YEAR DUE TO FULL SCHEDULE OF F1, FXX, AND F430 CHALLENGE.

    As usual, look for me in T3, or you can't miss my car, red Miata, stickers, roll bar, etc.

    Im saddened a little bit but the Ferrari Challenge is about the F430 and FXXs anyway. Historics were always a bonus.

    Mitty is coming too so ALL your historic fix will be taken up by that.
