Ferrari 458GT3 is heading to Silverstone and is payback time!

After almost one month from the disastrous Portimao week end Luca Pirri and his team mate Paul Rees are heading with all the Mtech team to Silverstone looking for a solid result after the terrible Portimao week end.

The circuit is the home circuit to the team and to Paul and is well known to Luca as he has raced there in Fia Gt3, Fia G1 and last September with the Lola Lmp2 prototype in the LMS class.

A few comments on the new teammate and expectation for the very tough season that is taking place this year in the FIA Gt3 where we have drivers coming from all kind of successes including a Indy driver,F Renault 3.5 World Series, F3 Champions, Renault Megane champions, Clio Champions, and all of drivers are very talented and I have to say young, I think most of the drivers is on the mid 20´s.

My teammate on the Ferrari 458 is Paul Rees of 25 years , last year he raced in Formula 2, he is new to Gt Racing but this week end in Imola where we had the first car outing he showed impressive peace, talent

And the right mindset for a successful career in GT as a professional driver.

Paul is also a very fit athlete and he is very involved In Charity and in September he will be swimming all the way from UK to France alone with no help and support, is 26 nautical miles ( 45 Kms) for a swim of about 10 hrs.

Paul is also son of former f1 driver and team manager Alan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Rees so he definitely has the races in his blood.

From my side I can say that we are very optimistic about our pairing of drivers, about the car and the team. We still need some good development on the car in particularly on the ABS breaking system that should be as promised available at Silverstone in June but the car has shown very good speed and reliability.

Follow me next week end in UK and let´s bring a Ferrari in the podium of one of the most prestigious circuits in the world.
