The JMB Racing USA Ferrari 360GT raced to the final place on the GT podium in the Miami 250, the 10th round of the Grand American Sportscar Series, yesterday.

The Racers Group scored a 1-2 finish in the GT class with their Porsche GT3-RS cars, having completed 101 laps of the Miami-Homestead track, with the JMB Ferrari, driven by Matt Plumb and Maurizio Mediani finishing one lap adrift after running strongly in the top three for virtually the entire race.

Nine laps behind the Ferrari, the Scuderia Ferrari of Washington-entered Maserati Trofeo Light, driven by Emil Assentato and Stephen Earle, came home 5th in class. The Maserati had been running well until lap 81, when the car had started to smoke heavily, enforcing a trip to its pit garage that lost it half a dozen laps.
