AF Corse Ferrari Team supporting SMP Racing adds a new success to its rich palmares with the victory at the 1000km of Castellet at Paul Ricard Circuit. With this victory the Italian team conquers the GT World Challenge Europe Title 2020. A special line-up was deployed for the occasion: Italian veteran Alessandro Pierguidi, the British Tom Blomqvist and the French Côme Lodogar. The drivers triumphed with Ferrari #51 after a brilliant recovery.
The dream to get the European Title was slowly vanishing due to the regular fast pace of Porsche #12 that was leading the race with an immeasurable distance of 14 seconds. Race podium and the Title seemed long gone, but in motorsport nothing is sure till the very last moment. Thanks to an unstoppable, almost surgical, recovery operated by Lodogar Ferrari #51 placed just a step behind the second opponent Lamborghini #63 Orange1 FFF Racing. At the fourth pit stop Pierguidi managed to overcome the Lamborghini gaining the P2 and becoming a real threat to Porsche's dream.
