F1 2008 Challenge
F1 Career Challenge ’99-‘02 is another Formula One racing game, and like its EA predecessors, it throws you into the world of international championship motor racing. You’ll notice that instead of a single year the game sports a series of four years after the name. That’s intentional, as the focus of the game is not just one race, or even one racing season, but your progression over a four year span of asphalt, carbon fiber, and high-tech telemetry-fueled racing.What you do get is pretty substantial. As an officially licensed and endorsed product, you get the full spectrum of courses, teams, and drivers you’d expect from watching Formula One on TV or following it in the trade press.
Want to be Michael Schumacher and ride the prancing horse from Maranello to victory lane? You can do it. Think it’s time for Mclaren to reclaim the checkered flag? The cars look great, as you’d expect, as do the tracks, from Monza to Hockenheim. Naturally, the hotter your PC the more detail you can crank up, but the game seems to pick a happy medium between looks and performance.EA is promising that the game will reflect all the events of the 1999-2002 seasons, from driver changes to technical adjustments, and you’ll have personalized engineering advice from your crew as well as advanced telemetry during the race. And multiplayer matches, which the game also supports, are always a good bet for fender bending action—even when there are no fenders.System Requirements: Pentium III 500 MHz, 128 MB RAM, Win98.

More Details here direct at the sellers websiteTalk about the car here at the Challenge boardThe GTB was the last version of the 348 coupe to be built. Subtle changes were incorporated to improve the styling, suspension geometry, chassis and engine power over the previous 348 TB model. One of only 252 produced this particular GTB chassis 98542 was purchased new in early 1994 by Mr.
M Oprey through the famous Dutch Ferrari importer Kroymans. The car was immediately converted to Ferrari Challenge specification using the Ferrari supplied Challenge kit by DLR Tuning in Holland for the 1994 race season.
It then raced in the European Ferrari Challenge Championship 1994-1995 without incident. The majority of the original 348 Challenge cars were converted from 348 TB or TS cars making this GTB example extremely rare.The 348 Challenge cars were the first in the line of the Ferrari Challenge models which are still being produced to this day. As an important part of modern Ferrari history genuine Challenge cars with period racing history are now becoming increasingly sought after. This unmolested car has covered 10,067km and is complete with its original warranty manual, Ferrari supplied 348 Challenge Press photographs/documents and 348 GT Owner’s manual. The 348 Challenge is one of the last Ferraris to offer a pure driving experience with no power assistance or electronic aids; equally at home on the road or on the track. 1995 Ferrari F355 Challenge, street legal, Championship winnerDetails and more Pictures:All taxes paied, Car is in Austria.
Major technical service done with invoices.This particular 355 was campaigned extensively (and very successfully) in the North American Challenge Series, from 1997 to 2000. With many first places across the country, throughout its career, it was actually 1st overall, in the 2000 season!What makes this car even more special however, is the fact that it is titled for road use. The Ferrari F355 Berlinetta was introduced at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show; the highly demanded successor to the now ageing 348. The 355 was not only a stark improvement stylistically on the 348, but it also saw a number of technical improvements, such as power steering and electronically controlled damping.The F355 name referred to the new 3.5-litre V8 engine with 5 valves per cylinder; a unit capable of propelling the beautiful Pininfarina-styled body to 60mph in under 5 seconds and top speed in excess of 180 mph. Further, the motor is responsible for what remains today one of the finest engine notes ever to come from Maranello.In 1995, Ferrari revealed a race-spec F355 Challenge model to be used specifically in the Ferrari Challenge race series.
This involved a $30,000 factory-to-dealer upgrade kit. 1998 Ferrari F355 Challenge – Factory Challenge “Type A – Evoluzione” – 1 of 40 in the world6-Speed Gated Manual TransmissionOriginal Color – Blue Pozzi in 1998Double Orange Stripes added in 1999Painted Nero with Double Silver Stripes in 2003VIN – ZFFXR41A0W011186911,874 MilesPros1.

When you see one, look closely for what it is “not” coming with. Look at all the parts that are not original or what it is missing. Many of the cars in the US ran in the SCCA racing series and lost much originality with changes to the car because of their different regulations. Then look to see if the car looks like rats have made it home with owners that just did not care and put away very wet without much care. You will find many challenge cars in this condition.
It will take quite a lot of money to bring them back and that is just the aesthetics. All the small things add up. We have seen other challenge cars with mechanical difficulties due to lack of use and owner neglect. I’d think most buying a Ferrari for the track would love it to run like an industrial sewing machine – one that just purs and goes and goes, and goes without issues. If a car is missing parts – they are likely to never be seen again. Then there is the question about the car’s sponsorship.
Was it sponsored by a local dentist or did it have backing like The Discovery Channel, Speedvision, and major Cable Entertainment Channels? It would seem that the latter is likely to look great anywhere and will continue to hold interest and demand throughout the future. Does the car have interesting history? Do you know what place it finished or is there no clue as to it’s original driver and their story of how they got involved in the series?So if you are looking for a complete car and one that you can proudly put in your collection, look no further. We started with a good Ferrari – it is now a great Ferrari. It’s now up to the new owner to pick and choose how to enjoy.
The sky is the limit.PricingF355 Challenge car values seem to float around $130k for a car without history – these are usually missing many original challenge parts like seats, the roll cage, brakes, etc – or one that looks like it has sat with the rats and was put away very wet. There is a huge difference between the lower priced cars and the higher priced cars. There is also a difference in value for the Factory Challenge cars and Evolutione cars which are rarer in number. The nice cars have been sold for as high as $245,000 to collectors in Europe in recent history.This car is priced firmly at $185,000 based on completeness of records, parts, and famous corporate sponsorship. We are open to trade(s) of other Ferrari’s or challenge cars.The car comes with a B&W Xerox copy of the MSO (Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin). Depending on different states or countries, this may enable a collector to register the car for street driving. We are still working with the original driver who is searching his storage for the original document.
– But the car is definitely better suited on track with its precise, and tight suspension, lower ground clearance, and other track focused features. It shines on the track and will leave many newer street Ferrari’s in the dust there.If you are a collector and want a Challenge car with unique history and fame, then look no further and just enjoy. 2002 Ferrari 360 GT by Max Girardo & Co.DetailsOne of only 20 Ferrari 360 GT’s built by Michelotto Automobili A purpose-built, even chassis number, Ferrari competition car.Eligible for Ferraris Club Competizioni GT series, Masters Endurance Legends, Peter Auto Endurance Racing Legends and Ferrari Challenge & GT DaysOffered Spare 360 GT engine (without auxiliaries), four BBS magnesium wheels and OMP passenger seat Platinum Award winner at the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic 2002 Ferrari 360 GTChassis no.
F131GT.2026.The Ferrari 360 GTThe Ferrari 360 GT was developed by Ferrari Spa in collaboration with Michelotto Automobili, to compete in the FIA N-GT class in the early to mid-2000’s. Between 2002 and 2004, Ferrari Spa commissioned Michelotto to build 20 Ferrari 360 GT’s, with a further 17 360 Challenge cars also being converted.Michelotto Automobili was Ferrari Spa’s chosen and preferred competition car developer and builder, with previous projects together including the 308 GTB Group B rally car, 288 GTO Evoluzione, F40 LM, F333 SP. Success was targeted, and achieved consistently, including a class victory at Le Mans and four consecutive FIA Sportscar Championships with the F333 SP.The 360 GT benefitted from a huge weight reduction of 91 kg over the 360 Challenge cars, with the wiring loom lightened, doors and bonnets in full carbon fibre and redundant chassis brackets being removed. The suspension was also upgraded with larger Brembo brakes and a rear wing fitted, ensuring the driver could make full use of the 3.6 litre, 40-valve, 4-cam, V-8 engine, which now produced in excess of 430 bhp! The gearbox was a six-speed sequential unit with a paddle on the right to change up, and a paddle on the left to change down a gear. This focussed weight saving resulted in a car which was 30 kg under the minimum weight limit of 1,100 kg, so ballast was placed in the car to meet these regulations.The 360 GT was the car that brought Ferrari back to modern GT racing, thanks mainly to its sheer success, which started in 2001 with both the FIA N-GT driver and team championships.
The Ferrari 360 raced around the world, competing at the famed Le Mans 24 Hours, Daytona 24 Hours and 12 Hours of Sebring.This Ferrari 360 GTThe car we are offering here, chassis 2026, is one of only 20 360 GT’s built by Michelotto Automobili for Ferrari Spa. Cristiano Michelotto himself has confirmed this car to have been delivered new to Steve Goldman in California, USA, in 2002.Goldman, a resident of Malibu, California, is an engineer by training, and was the CEO of a high-tech company for many years, but in the early 2000’s found his way into motorsport and bought this Ferrari 360 GT to compete in events, and sparingly at track days. In August 2003, Goldman raced this car at the California Speedway, qualifying first and finishing third in class. A year later, again at the California Speedway, he qualified second and finished 3 rd overall. Goldman also allowed Bob Faieta, team owner of Competition Motorsport and American Le Mans Series driver enter the car into small club events.With Goldman, this Ferrari 360 GT joined a sizeable collection of competition and sports for about 6 years, before crossing the States to reside in Florida with Jason Owen in Florida. Contained within the history file of this 360 GT are copies of many invoices for regular maintenance work performed by Ferrari and Lamborghini specialists, Rosso Corsa in Jupiter, Florida.In January 2011, this 360 GT entered the world-renowned Palm Bach Cavallino Classic XX, where it was awarded Platinum in Class 6 in the Concorso d’Eleganza. To receive a Platinum award, the car must score higher than 95 points after judging.The maintenance invoices from Rosso Corsa in Florida document an engine rebuild in 2017 and 2018.
Since this rebuild, the car has not returned to the track, instead it has been carefully stored, and is today presented in exceptional condition, a true testament to the limited use it has seen.The car is offered with the following spares:– spare set of BBS magnesium wheels and slick tyres,– OMP passenger seat (so you can share the on-track experience)– spare 360 GT engine (without auxiliaries)This car is eligible for the Ferrari Club Competizioni GT series, Aston Martin Masters Endurance Legends, Peter Auto Endurance Racing Legends and Challenge & GT Days.

Model history:The Ferrari F430 shared its aluminum chassis with the 360 that preceded it, but its Pininfarina-penned styling charted a new course for Maranello. The F430 channeled Ferrari’s past designs with taillights from the Enzo, Testarossa-like side mirrors that stretched out from its A-pillars, and ducts integrated into its sides and front fascia akin to 1960s Formula 1 cars.
Pininfarina’s Frank Stephenson is credited with the F430’s striking design.Though its styling was eye-catching, the F430’s big newsmaker at its debut at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show was under its glass engine cover. The F430 marked the first use of Ferrari’s new dual overhead camshaft, 32-valve V-8 engine, codenamed F136 E. The 90-degree V-8 was co-developed with Maserati, but Maranello’s version got its own 180-degree flat-plane crankshaft.
Chain-driven camshafts replaced rubber belts in the automaker’s previous eight-cylinder. The new, modern V-8 was the first clean-sheet design for Ferrari in about half a century. The new engine sent its approximately 490 hp to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual transmission or the automaker’s six-speed F1 gearbox.It did not take long for Ferrari to take the wraps off a GT2 racing version of the F430. Developed with longtime racing partner Michelotto Automobili, the F430 GTC was eligible for American Le Mans Series racing, the Le Mans Series, the FIA GT Championship, and even the 24 Hours of Le Mans!The F430 GTC made use of a downsized 4.0-liter version of the new V-8 in order to comply with FIA rules.
The F430 GTC’s engine was rated at 470 hp, but its impressive power-to-weight ratio meant it was significantly faster than the 550-hp F430 GT3. A six-speed sequential-shift transmission put power to the wheels in rapid fashion.The F430 GTC featured a big rear wing with an integrated Gurney flap to enhance the design’s already impressive downforce plus carbon fiber body panels to reduce weight.
Race cars rode on.
