A victory for research
12.20.2010
Maranello, 20 December – Yesterday, the Adria circuit hosted the seventh “24 Ore per Telethon,” the usual motoring competition, part of the TV marathon organised by the RAI channel, aimed at collecting funds for research into muscular dystrophy and genetic illness. Thirty teams made up of six to eight drivers tackled an endurance race, which was reckoned to be one of the most spectacular ever seen on an Italian circuit. There were many stars from the world of show business, sport and politics, taking part in the race to support the initiative. One of them was Giancarlo Fisichella, who took to the track at the wheel of one of ten Fiat 500s, bearing the inscription, “5 Hundred Cup,” taking the class win and fourth place overall. Also in the crew captained by the Roman, who is the reserve driver for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, was Eugene Kaspersky from the eponymous sponsor of the team from Maranello.
