Risi Competizione
Risi Competizione, the ALMS 2006 GT2 Champions, took up where they left off in the American Le Mans Series last year by taking pole in yesterday’s qualifying for the 55th running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. Jaime Melo, the FIA GT2 Champion who was the fastest GT2 driver in ALMS in 2006 driving for Risi Competizione, took the Rosso Corsa 430GT Ferrari around the bumpy, twisting, 3.7 mile, 17 turn Sebring International Raceway course in a new qualifying lap record of 2.02.439.
The result did not surprise Team Managing Director Giuseppe Risi, who said that “we have a year of experience with the 430GT behind us and Jaime was very, very good in qualifying for us last year. We have done a lot of work on the car and we certainly didn’t expect to be slow. I like the results so far, but this year, ALMS GT2 is going to be incredibly competitive, so we cannot let up. â€
