Shell Historic Challenge '99
15.2.99

Details have been announced of the '99 Historic Challenge, the most important change of which is that Maseratis will now be eligible and it will therefore be called the Shell Historic Ferrari Maserati Challenge.

The inclusion of Maserati in this race series is in line with Ferrari SpA's acquisition of the Maserati marque last year and it will enable the profile of the somewhat moribund Maserati name to be significantly heightened. For the historic racing enthusiasts, it will mean the eligibility of fabulous Maserati tipos from the past, including the 250F, 200S and Birdcage models. This will also re-live some of the classic battles of the past in which Maseratis fought many times against various Ferrari models.

The 1999 provisional calendar is as follows:

Spa		April 30, May 1 & 2
Montlhery		June 18, 19, 20
Nurburgring		July 2, 3, 4
Silverstone		July 30 & 31, August 1
Italy		November 6 & 7
