Off and Running at Silverstone
21st April 2008
Round 1 of the 2008 FIA GT Championship got off to an eventful start at Silverstone
today, as the Scuderia Ecosse team made the most of the damp and trying conditions
in poor visibility.
The experienced driver pairing of Jamie Davies and Fabio Babini performed
well against the odds throughout the two-hour race, ending the day in 10th
place. Unfortunately, the team were unable to solve the engine management glitch
that blighted running all weekend. However, there was much for the team to
take encouragement from, as they look forward to Round 2 of the Championship
at Monza next month.
Scuderia Ecosse team principal Stewart Roden said immediately after the race “The
first race of every new season is always exciting but challenging. More importantly
however, is that it provides the team with valuable information that will strengthen
our position and improve the performance in the Championship, as the season
rolls on to Monza”.
