DAMAC Properties, the largest private developer in the Middle East is participating in the Ferrari Challenge Championship 2007. The DAMAC sponsored ‘Ferrari F430 Challenge’ racing car is currently competing in races across Europe culminating in the World Final in Italy on 25 October 2007.
The UK leg of the tour will take place at Silverstone on 8, 9 and 10 June as part of Ferrari's 60th birthday celebrations. This very special showcase weekend will be the only opportunity to see the full range of road and race Ferraris in action in the UK in 2007.
Mr Hussain Sajwani, Chairman of DAMAC Holding said: “We are proud to be part of such a prestigious event that will bring the fleet of Ferrari road and racing cars together for everyone to enjoy at Silverstone. DAMAC Properties is renowned for its luxury brand and our association with one of the world’s leading luxury car manufacturers - Ferrari - reflects our brand’s aspirational personality.”
The car will be managed by Ferrari Team Motor and will race in a total of eight rounds of the Challenge held at circuits in Monza, Misano, Imola, Vallelunga, Mugello, Silverstone and Le Castellet. Driving for DAMAC Properties will be ace young drivers Giacomo Piccini and Davide Rigon.
Peter Riddoch, CEO of DAMAC Properties says: “As DAMAC Properties continues to expand internationaly, our involvement with the Ferrari Challenge Championship is a unique way of communicating with our target audiences across Europe. Our association with the event is a reflection of the esteemed and exciting lifestyle that our customers are used to.”
Since its debut, the Ferrari Challenge has been one of the most competitive series on the entire Challenge scene, attracting a plethora of top class drivers year after year. The start grids are always packed and the outcomes are often nail-bitingly uncertain right until the very last bend. The DAMAC Ferrari will feature DAMAC’s unmistakable yellow branding so it should be easy to spot as it whizzes across the finishing line, hopefully in first place!
