The weekend just spent at the St. Petersburg circuit, in Florida, for the first round of the Pirelli World Challenge, was definitely demoralizing for Daniel and the entire TR3 Racing team.
The Thursday before the race, in fact, the organizers of the PWC have informed the team that they should have added 20 kg of ballast because of the adoption of the Evo kit that Ferrari had released for this year and that at the time of approval didn’t present any difference of minimum weight compared to 2017.
This decision, which was going to significantly affect the performance of the Ferrari 488 GT3 – especially in a circuit like St. Petersburg – was not shared by the team, which has so decided to not take part in the race weekend.
In these days the team will decide if and how to modify the program of the 2018 season.
We will inform you shortly about the developments.
