Scuderia Villorba Corse was absolute star of International GT Open season and 2014 final round in Barcelona on November 1-2 with Andrea Montermini and Niccolò Schirò on their Ferrari 458. After the thrilling win clinched in Saturday’s race-1, Italian team led by Raimondo Amadio had a troubled race-2, where either pole position nor the fastest lap of the race (1’50″109) or a very effective car were enough. In the end Montermini / Schirò came in third position in the overall standings of the championship. In race-2 Villorba Corse lost its title hopes because of a drive-through penalty when, started from pole position, Schirò cut the very first turn during a tough duel and a contact with the Ferrari of Perez Aicart.

“It was a bad day, we can not deny it – says Amadio, Team Principal -. However, we have fought at the top throughout the season. Still the whole team deserves a ‘well done’ for all the very good job done in many different championship. We have always raced at the highest levels. Tomorrow we will start working on 2015.”
