A prototype Ferrari F430 Challenge was caught recently (200606) undertaking development testing at the Vallelunga circuit.The new V8-engined Ferrari F430 'berlinetta' was introduced to the world during last September's Paris Mondial de l'Automobile to replace the incumbent 360 Modena model, and likewise on the race tracks, the new F430 Challenge will shortly supersede the 360 Challenge. From 2006 the two models will run side-by-side in the Italian-based Pirelli Trophy and the pan-European Shell Cup. As the F430 Challenge development programme cranks up the gears, a prototype has been captured at the Vallelunga circuit near Rome. This appearance follows on from recent tests which took place at Ferrari's in-house Fiorano test track and at Monza, the long-time home of the Italian Grand Prix. In the hands of Raffaele De Simone, who is this year contesting the Trophy Pirelli Italy driving a 360 Challenge entered by the Ineco/RAM team, the bright yellow machine was caught on film at Vallelunga by photographer Gino Allegritti. The project is being undertaken by Ferrari in conjunction with their long-time race tuning partners Michelotti. The project is currently in a very early stage of development, with the prototypes on the track visually almost identical to the road-going version of the F430. Alongside the standard production panels, a number of distinguishing features can be made out. These include a full roll protection cage, race seats equipped with multi-point harnesses, Perspex door glass with a slide-opening aperture, front tow hook, and bonnet release pins. At the rear, a new performance exhaust system is featured, with two single pipes replacing the quad-outlet affair featured on the standard F430. A quick release fuel cap, finished in aluminium, is now located on the C-post, whilst the wheels have been upgraded to single central nut attachment type. One red prototype has also received a large sun-blind, taking up half of the front windscreen. The suspension has also been modified for the track, particularly noticeable at the rear end, where the ride height has been dropped substantially. Other details include air jacks and Brembo CCM Composite Cermanic Disks, further underlining that this technology is reliable and trouble free. CCM disks are exceptionally light and provide excellent braking efficiency in all conditions and practically never wear. |
