The prestigious Ferrari Challenge was staged last weekend at Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant sited in the picturesque Quebec Laurentians. Professional hockey player Patrice Brisebois captured his first career victory in car racing, finishing first in the Challenge Ferrari F430.

The Montreal Canadians player of team Ferrari Québec was followed home by fellow countryman Lawrence Stroll (Ferrari Quebec) and the American Roberto Fata (Ferrari of Long Island). Fata maintains his grip at the head of the leader board.

In the Historic Challenge, on the grid for cars with disc brakes, Lawrence Stroll and his 512 M Sunoco took the flag ahead of Jim Fuchs (512 BB/LM) and John Giordano (512 S).

The for drum braked cars category saw victory go to Peter Giddins (Alfa Romeo Tipo C) from Peter Greenfield (Alfa Romeo 8C/35 and Peter Le Saffre (Maserati 300S).

Over the weekend, the F1 Clienti operation organised two sessions of free laps for the six single seaters present, as well as eight cars enrolled in the FXX programme. At the end of each session, owners and engineers then studied the telemetry, with great feedback from the evolution kit, fitted to seven of the cars.
