Treviso (Italy), October 31, 2012. Over the weekend of November 4 the International GT Open reaches Barcelona for its season finale. The aabar Abu Dhabi Villorba racing with Ferrari Team led by Raimondo Amadio is ready for the last challenge and will get back on track to finish the championship in style. At the Circuit de Catalunya the job will be even more hard and challenging but at the same time also fascinating for the Italian squad as the GT Open will host the Spanish GT Championship bringing 48 cars to the grid. Once more this represents a further reason to be among the top contenders with race drivers Andrea Montermini and Juan Manuel Lopez. Behind the wheel of the powerful Ferrari 458 of the Super GT class the former F.1 driver from Modena, record man for wins in the series, and his Argentine team-mate scored an exciting podium in the last race at Monza after a great comeback and therefore they are very motivated for the upcoming season finale.
The eighth round of one of the most competitive international championships is scheduled from November 2 to 4. The aabar Abu Dhabi Villorba team will start the weekend on Friday with two free practice sessions. On Saturday morning the Qualifying sessions are scheduled for 09:55 and 12:05, whereas start of race-1, to be held together with the Spanish GT Championship, for 15:40. On Sunday, November 4, race-2 will start at 12:55. Both races will be broadcasted live or deferred by many TV stations throughout Europe, including RaiSport 2 and Primocanale in Italy.
We want to run two great races that can delete the misfortunes we suffered throughout the season - says Raimondo Amadio, Team Principal -. It will be a difficult last round of the championship and both races are expected to be very challenging and with so many cars on the track. However, as usual we are very well prepared and I believe that it will be a positive weekend.
In Barcelona we will try to score a great result to end well a season that has deprived us of better satisfactions - says Montermini -. The whole team has little to reproach hitself: there is a great understanding among us, we are motivated and we are also looking into the future. Unfortunately some factors that did not depend directly on us weigh too much on the outcome of this 2012 season.
