FAST FERRARI AT HOME First day at the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit in Imola which hosts the World Endurance Championship for the first time with free practice which was dominated by the Ferraris. On the Santerno the 499Ps dictated the pace with Yifei Ye who brought the AF Corse car ahead of everyone in the morning, preceding Antonio Fuoco in the first official Hypercar who further lowered the limit in the afternoon.
PORSCHE THE REAL THREAT According to what Fuoco declared, the Porsche – which won in both classes in the opener in Lusail – is the car most feared for victory in the race. The German 963s didn’t exaggerate on Friday where Peugeot and Lamborghini tried to chase the Ferraris in front of an already excellent crowd. In the late afternoon session, the Porsche that won in Qatar climbed up to second position. Group center for Toyota. Looking for pace Alpine and BMW.
LEADER CORVETTE In the GT3 class the English TF Sport led both sessions with the Corvette Z06s. The former Aston Martin team brought their cars to the front both in the morning and in the afternoon while the two Ferrari 296 GT3s of Vista/AF Corse took turns behind them. Behind the first three is the BMW on which Valentino Rossi also races. In the afternoon, Heart of Racing’s Aston Martin approached. Tomorrow the last free practice session and qualifying, both available live on the championship’s official YouTube channel.
