    Pro-Am. The Ferrari 488 GT3 of Tempesta Racing will compete in the Pro-Am class, driven by Christopher Froggatt and Eddie Cheever III. The Italo-British crew, lucky but capable of some very positive performances, made the podium in Race-2 at the Paul Ricard and will be seeking a repeat in the Ardennes.

The 488 GT3 topped the time sheets at the end of day, with Eddie Cheever III and Christopher Froggatt signing the best time - 2.18.548 - in the second session, beating by 0.273 seconds the best time of the first session.

    Programme. The 70-minute qualifying session for Race-1 starts on Saturday, at 11:20 am, while the race itself starts at 4:45 pm. However, on Sunday qualifying for Race-2 begins at 10:35 am and the 60-minute race sets off at 3:05 pm.
