Race Retro Classic & Competition Car Sale 2020 21st - 23rd February 2020

www.silverstoneauctions.com 59 Competition Cars - Friday 21st February 2020 + buyer’s premium of 15% including VAT @ 20% (SSC) software makes its first-ever appearance on a Challenge car. This is integrated with the vehicle’s electronic dynamic controls and is calibrated, along with the traction control and E-Diff3, to improve turn-in, cornering, and acceleration out of corners ensuring that maximum traction is available throughout. To enable Challenge drivers to tailor the car’s handling to their driving style to an even higher degree, the vehicle control functions (traction and braking) are now governed independently, thanks to the adoption of three ‘Manettinos’, one is dedicated just to braking, while the other two, set either side of the steering wheel, govern the traction control and electronic differential. Externally, a massive carbon-fibre rear wing from the 488 GTE dominates proceedings, with lower side skirts, a new bonnet, and a reprofiled nose section completing an aerodynamic package that apparently creates 10% more downforce than its predecessor, the 458 Challenge Evo. In the pursuit of weight loss, lightweight plastic panels replace the main windows and internally the car differs extensively from the road-legal version. Gone are the standard centre console, seats, dashboard, door panels, carpets, and trims, all replaced by a fully stripped-out motorsport cabin with integrated roll bar, fire-extinguisher system, racing steering wheel, and fixed racing bucket seat. Finished in gleaming Rosso Corsa, 488 Challenge was delivered in 2018 to David L Mason O.B.E. and has been used lightly since, accumulating less than 5,000km. It’s fitted with the optional passenger seat, upgraded front dampers, car-to-pits radio system, and a V Box HD2 for data logging and video analysis. In the hands of the current owner and Ross Wylie, it has already proved itself to be very competitive achieving Fastest Lap in Class in all seven of the Britcar races in which it was entered along with a podium, pole position and four class podiums. It presents in immaculate condition inside and out and has been prepared by established FF Corse to be ready for its next owner to enjoy and race in whichever series he or she may decide upon. The 488 Challenge is a hugely competent design and, given the options of electronically controlling the car’s responses, it will react well to drivers of limited experience who will quickly develop the talents required to handle 660bhp and 1300kg. Thanks to retaining an adjustable steering column and sliding seat, it should be easy for drivers of any size to get comfortable and, after a bit of practice and a few races, any reasonable driver should be able to return this car to being competitive, particularly if run by one of the acknowledged Challenge specialists. 2018 Ferrari 488 Challenge LOT 231 More Images Lot 231 Bid On Lot 231
