Today, the Italian former F1 driver and GT champion will race his 300th career start during the last round of the VdeV GT/Tourisme challenge when he will share the AF Corse Ferrari 458 GT3 with teammates Cordoni and Zanuttini at the 6 Hours of Estoril, last round of the 2016 VdeV GT/Tourism challenge.

The race will be held on at 13:00hrs GMT (14:00hrs in Italy). For the Italian driver from Modena, who claims 28 years of races under the Ferrari brand, the event that will mark his 300th race is expected to be a very demanding commitment given the weather forecast (who are predicting a possible wet race) and the fact that the race will end in the dark right when he will go for the final stint.

Andrea Montermini: “It is not easy for a driver to reach 300 races and, of course, I am very excited and I have to thank my teammates for this special opportunity. After the practice sessions we are confident on a positive result but Saturday will be a very busy day because of the changing weather conditions expected in the qualyfing session and the race”.
