Mont Tremblant, 29 June. Today, the curtain came down on the Ferrari Racing Days event at Mont Tremblant having featured the Ferrari Challenge North America series and sessions on tack for owners tackling the XX and F1 Programmes which thrilled the many Ferrari fans who turned up to enjoy the excitement of the Prancing Horse events.
Also adding to the show was Scuderia Ferrari test driver Marc Gené, who was there to help the drivers get the most out of their old F1 cars and also set a new circuit record at the historic Canadian track in 1.12.720, at the wheel of an F2004 owned by Canadian Michael Latifi.
