Monza, 15 April 2007 – With the success of the Ferrari 430 GTCs of Team GPC Sport driven by De Simone-Bonetti-Hernandez and the second place of a similar car entered by Villorba Corse for Zardo-Caffi, Pirelli Competizioni has begun the 2007 season of the Le Mans Series in the best possible way. In more than five hours of racing, the PZero Racing-fitted Ferraris were almost always in the leading positions and no fewer than four out of the first five finishers were on Pirelli tyres.
This
victory rewards the optimum work carried out by Pirelli together with GPC Corse, which saw the other 430 GTC on Pirelli PZero Racing tyres take fifth place, driven by Drudi-Mowlem-Rosa, preceded by the always brilliant Panoz Esperante GTLM-Pirelli of Team LNT, campaigned by Kimber Smith-Watts.
Pirelli
Competizioni director,
Paul Hembery, said, “Achieving such a sensational
success in that which is the first great endurance race of the 2007 Le
Mans Series is further proof of the high degree of competitiveness of
the new, soft compound PZero Racings, which dominated
the scene at the top with clear superiority. Winning again with Ferrari
and setting the fastest lap with Porsche also confirm the ability of Pirelli to
offer products especially developed for cars which are so very different
from each other. It is also a result which is a good omen in a year that
looks like it is going to be highly demanding, given the large number
of competitive entrants in the GT2 class – the most substantial of the
entire championship”.
Pirelli tyres are marketed in Oman by their authorized sole distributor General Trading Enterprises LLC, an OTE group company with strong distribution and service network spread across the Sultanate.
