Scuderia Corsa will compete in the Pirelli World Challenge race on August 22-24 at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California. Mike Hedlund, who has driven the Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 in the Pirelli World Challenge as well as in the Rolex Sports Car Series, will pilot the Scuderia Corsa entry.

“We are now looking to expand our team to the Pirelli World Challenge where we will enter a car for the Sonoma race with Mike Hedlund,” said Giacomo Mattioli, team owner of Scuderia Corsa. “As it is a very exciting time for Scuderia Corsa, it is also a very exciting time for Pirelli World Challenge and we are looking forward to competing for the first time in the series. Mike is familiar with the series as well as with the Ferrari 458 Italia, and we are looking forward to competing in another competitive championship.”
 
Hedlund, who lives near Sonoma Raceway, is looking forward to his first weekend with Scuderia Corsa.

“After competing against Scuderia Corsa in the last few seasons in GRAND-AM and seeing the success that they have had, I’m looking forward to racing with the team at Sonoma,” said Hedlund. “It’s a home race for the both of us and the timing was perfect for me to return to the Pirelli World Challenge. Giacomo Mattioli has put together a world class operation and I’m excited to help the team explore a new series.”
