Italian squads AF Corse and Vittoria Competizioni shared the race wins in round 2 of the Superstars GT Sprint at Valencia last weekend as Ferraris dominated.
Niki Cadei (AF Corse) won the opening event in the sole Ferrari 458 Italia represented in the field, taking the chequered flag 1.685 seconds clear of the F430 of Matteo Cressoni (Racing Team Edil Cris) and the identical car of Giacomo Barri (Vittoria Competizioni).
Andrea Palma (VC) scored his second win of the season in race 2 in the car he shares with Max Mugelli (fourth in race 1). Team-mate Barri was second, while Michael Dalle Stelle completed the podium in his Racing Team Edil Cris Ferrari F430.
Davide Amaduzzi took the GTS Cup category honours on the road in his Scuderia La.Na Ferrari 430 in race 1, but was later penalised for ‘causing avoidable contact’ handing the MIK Corse Lamborghini Gallardo of Carlo Graziani the win. The RC Motorsport Corvette of Roberto Del Castello triumphed in race 2.
