We've lost a bit of enthusiasm for GT racing this year as proper Ferraris are being beaten by re-badged ones in GT1 and it hasn't helped that the Prodrive MkII is badged an Aston rather than a Ferrari - mind you it's difficult to see what even Prodrive could do with the somewhat corpulent 612 Scaglietti. Maybe things will get better next season when Ferrari launch the GT2 430GTC. Round 7 took place at Oschersleben in Germany on 28th August and Masers finished 1-2 with formers Ferraristas Babini & Biaggi taking the win in their Vitaphone car. Deletraz & Piccini's GPC Sport 575GTC was best Fazza in sixth. Lamy & Gardel come home seventh in their Labre Compétition 550M (Prodrive MkI). Round 8 was at Istanbul
Park on 18th September and it must have been quite something to see the
GT cars going through turn 8! Again it was a Maserati whitewash with MC12s
taking the first three places. Top Ferrari was again Deletraz/Piccini
in fourth, with Lamy/Gardel sixth.
