The cars have been modified to become «racing cars» by a kit made and supplied by the Car Manufacturer of Maranello. They have competed for one year for the first prize in this special race. The Challenge, which will conclude on October 10th, 1993 at the Mugello Motordrome with the presentation of the «Absolute Trophy Challenge Ferrari 348», has created much interest and excitement in both the media and automotive world.The sponsors, AGIP, PIRELLI, SPEEDLINE, OMP, MOMO, SKF, BIEFFE, MARELLI, MARTINI and ASSITALIA have guaranteed great organization and a perfect course for the races.
