Over the past weekend, we witnessed the thrilling
conclusion of the Ferrari Challenge UK Series at Spa-Francorchamps, marking the
final round of the racing series. In the Coppa Shell class, our
drivers, Paul Hogarth and Peter Hunter, took center stage for an epic showdown
in 2023.
The previous race meeting at Silverstone had shaken up
the standings. As Spa kicked off, the battle on the track promised to be
intense and closely contested.
After an adrenaline-pumping weekend filled with
heart-stopping moments, we extend our congratulations to Paul Hogarth for
emerging as the victorious champion of the 2023 Ferrari Challenge UK series! Paul's
accomplishment as the driver who consistently performed at the highest level
throughout the season, securing 6 first-place finishes and numerous podiums, is
a testament to his complete dedication. Countless late nights and early
mornings, coupled with your sheer commitment, have undeniably borne fruit. The
entire team is immensely proud to have been part of this incredible journey
with you.
Peter Hunter, who joined the series for his first and
only season, deserves commendation for his unwavering dedication and remarkable
progress throughout the series. In the finale, he achieved a commendable
mid-field finish—an outstanding accomplishment for someone who has been part of
the series for just one season. This is a monumental result for both drivers,
and we want to take a moment to acknowledge your remarkable achievements. Well
done to both of you, and we eagerly anticipate more thrilling race action in
the coming year!
Our thoughts go out to our friend and fellow title contender, Paul Simmerson, who had to withdraw from the competition due to his unfortunate crash in Q2. We send our best wishes to Simmerson for a swift recovery and eagerly anticipate the resumption of on-track battles in 2024.
