00:00 Over 100 cars, something like 130 here at Kota for Ferrari Challenge North America.
00:07 And the first event in the 2024 calendar gets underway.
00:12 And first to show of course the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli drive us in the new 296.
00:18 So the mix of Trofeo Pirelli and Trofeo Pirelli AM drive us,
00:22 really fighting very hard during the course of the race.
00:26 It was going to be a brilliant drive for Dylan Medler to take first honours for Trofeo Pirelli.
00:31 And for Pirelli AM it was Brian Cook who would be victorious.
00:34 And Dylan Medler was certainly congratulated by a number of the team from the collection,
00:39 as you can see. So well done to Dylan Medler.
00:42 Next up it would be our Copa Shell drive us.
00:44 Once again our mix of Shell and Shell AM drive us that would take to the track.
00:48 And Cyril Csoksy had qualified P1.
00:51 However, the start was not brilliant for him.
00:53 And Jan Bernier was able to take advantage of that and put himself into P1.
00:57 However, Cyril Csoksy was determined to get back and retake that lead.
01:01 Unfortunately, Neil Langberg ended up in the barriers.
01:04 And that would bring the early curtailment of that race.
01:08 So Cyril Csoksy then did take victory for the Shell drivers and for the Shell AM drive us.
01:14 It would be Talal Sher on his debut to take P1.
01:18 The 488 Challenge Evo, which has been the car of the Ferrari Challenge for a number of years,
01:22 also got the opportunity to shine on this Cota circuit as well.
01:27 And a big number of those cars across Pirelli and Shell
01:31 were out there to really enjoy this Cota circuit.
01:34 And enjoying it more than anybody else, Massimo Pirina,
01:38 the Ferrari of Seattle driver, taking a victory for the Pirelli drivers.
01:42 And Matt Dalton in the Shell drive us was victorious in his category.
01:47 And was congratulated, as you can imagine, by everyone associated with his team
01:52 in the paddock. So that's day one of our Cota weekend done and dusted.
01:56 Day two with more Ferrari Challenge action to come tomorrow.
