The 2023 Ferrari Challenge World Finals got underway on the Mugello track with the first of the three Qualifying sessions scheduled for today; this one was for the Coppa Shell AM contenders, and it saw Motohiko Isozaki take the fastest time from Martinus Richter.
The Japanese driver stopped the clock in 1m53.531s, preceding his rival from the Mertel Motorsport team by just 62 thousandths. Richter was the only one able to get close to the Cornes Motors Shiba team driver, although Kirk Baerwaldt did manage to improve quite a bit during his final effort, closing to within 3 tenths of Isozaki’s pole mark.
