David to compete at the SPA 24h ///

 22.07.2016

Fumanelli will take part in the legendary 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, on a brand new Ferrari 488 GT3 with Scuderia Praha.

A great chance for David who, after being called by the team at the collective test at the beginning of July, has convinced the Czech team to confirm him for the biggest GT race in the world.
Twelve of the most prestigious car brands will challenge on the Belgian circuit, with 70 cars and more than 230 professional drivers. The highest level in GT racing.

The car 34 will compete in the PRO-AM class and David will share it with Matteo Malucelli (second placed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2016), Jiri Pisarik and Josef Kral.
A strong line-up to aim high in the Pro-Am class, but also to get the opportunity to well perform in the overall.

The beginning of the weekend is scheduled for Tuesday, July 26th, with the first tests and the classic parade of cars in the centre of Spa city.
For Saturday and Sunday are expected more than 200,000 spectators, plus 2.3 million viewers will follow the iconic Belgian race all around the world.
I'm excited and really happy to be at the start of the 24h of Spa, the biggest and most important GT race in the world! The test on the 5th of July went great and I got to know a very professional and competitive team. It was the first time for me in a Ferrari, but I immediately got the feeling behind the wheel of the 488 GT3. It’s a great car!
I'm looking forward to starting work with my mates, it will be a very long weekend and we must be careful not to make mistakes and preserve the car for the race. It's a different approach than usual, but I feel ready for this challenge.
