SHELL HISTORIC CHALLENGE : Nurburgring
3/4.7.99

At the Ferrari Racing Days '99 at the Nurburgring there were four races for the Shell-Historic Ferrari Maserati Challenge.

 

Plino Haas' TdF was quick.

In the race reserved for Sports cars with disc brakes, Jacky Ickx scored a double at the wheel of a 1972 312 PB, while second on both occasions was the 512 M of the Swiss driver Patrick Stieger. On Saturday they were joined on the podium by France's Jean Guikas (Maserati B GrlV) and on Sunday by Englishman David Piper (Ferrari 275 LM.)

 

Patrick Stieger's 512M came second.

Maserati took its revenge in the race for Sports cars with drum brakes: on both days victory went to the Englishman Peter Hanen, first beating Germany's Burkhard Von Schenk (third in the second race) and then finishing ahead of the Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France of the Swiss Plino Haas. In the first race, third place went to another Maserati, the 300S of Germany's Klaus Werner, who crashed in race two.
