AF Corse in 2007 - Page 3

Thanks for the info CMK on AM and Michelin in 2005, I was not aware of that and am never surprised when when a Dave Richards car runs on Pirelli, he has a very long history with them.

There is no doubt at all that the Dunlop and Pirelli are just plain slower

Where did the name AF Corse come from anyway ?

F360 · 28 Oct 2006, 15:59 (Ref:1752006)

AF Corse = Amato Ferrari Racing.
Amato Ferrari is the team owner. AFAIK he is no relation to Enzo Ferrari's family.

Heard some rumours in the FIA-GT paddock that the two AF Corse F430 are to be sold after the end of the season.

This may not mean a whole lot though, in terms of future plans. They could easily re-up with 2007 chassis being works-backed, and I believe a lot of Ferrari race chassis are sold into collector's hands or for national racing after 1 year are they not?

i know 25 f430 gtc chassis... so enough cars are available. The sevond part of the rumour is: AF corse quits racing like they did after theier 2004 Maserato job was done.

I'm not saying you're gonna be wrong, but this is taking massive flying leap to a conclusion.

Italian sources, said that AF Corse should run 2-3 Alfa Romeo 147 in the WTCC 2007

Alfa is rumoured to enter six cars (2 diesels!) next season. Their current WTCC cars are entered by N.Technology. A couple months ago Alfa has sold their N.Technolgy shares. So maybe you are right about AF Corse.

Shame, where will Mr Todt (or whoever does it next year) place Salo and Melo? If Porsche do not push the new 997 and Ferrari are satisfied with this seasons domination of FIA that, allied to the new sprint format could kill FIA GT unless Pratt and Miller come over, .....well, er, no, that is not what Doug Fehan wants is it, he said:

If we can’t find a forum to race here that is consistent with our mission statement, which is to showcase the durability, reliability and performance of the Corvette, we need to go somewhere where we can,” outlined Doug Fehan.

Sprint races don't fit that mission statement so I guess he means either LMS or Super GT

SRO may have problems getting enough entries to pay the track fees next year

Melo could get a Mercedes DTM seat. See http://www.italiaracing.net/news.asp?id=7100
