TFM Poised for Phillip Island Return with Rebuilt Ferrari

TFM Poised for Phillip Island Return with Rebuilt Ferrari 458 GT3

Auckland, New Zealand, 10th April 2015 – Trass Family Motorsport, New Zealand’s Ferrari racing team, are poised to return to the Australian GT Championship for next month’s Phillip Island 101 with a freshly rebuilt Ferrari following a serious collision at the season opening Clipsal 500 Adelaide.

The accident was a significant blow for the Kiwi team after pacing the field all weekend and scoring pole position, and a podium finish for driver pairing Jono Lester and Paul Kelly.

The lengthy break between events has allowed TFM, in conjunction with Maranello Motorsport, to freight the damaged car to Ferrari-approved Michelotto Automobili in its native Italy for a full re-shell before returning to Australia to be shaken down ahead of the next race.

That race is the Phillip Island 101, one of two endurance rounds in the 2015 AGT Championship with the capacity field racing for 101-laps around the iconic seaside circuit.

With TFM sitting third on the points ladder behind Nathan Antunes (Audi) and Tony/Klark Quinn (McLaren), the rejuvenated team are seeking outright victory and another spirited battle with the talented field of GT3 contenders.
