Just as in 2003,
BMS Scuderia Italia secured the GT Teams Championship during the eighth round of
the Championship.
With the nr 2 Ferrari 550 Maranello claiming points for second place, and the nr
1 car those for fourth, the Italian team now has a score of 123.5 points, 61.5
ahead of second placed GPC Giesse Squadra Corse.
With their four
drivers lying in the top four positions in the Drivers’ classification, this has
been another excellent year for the team.
Although claiming less wins that in 2003, the ultimate goal of victory in the
Proximus 24 Hours of Spa was achieved, and, so far this season, the two cars
have finished in the points on every occasion bar Brno, when the nr 1 car halted
close to the end, while in second place. A remarkable achievement.
"We are very
happy to win the Teams Championship for the second year in a row," Sporting
Director Marco Streparava explained.
"At the start of the season we thought that the level of the Championship had
risen significantly, and as the season progressed, this has proved to be
true. The level of the FIA GT is growing round by round, and this gives our
title even more significance.
Now we must try to keep our concentration as we have to win the Drivers
Championship. Our drivers are in a very strong battle, but there is a good
atmosphere in the team."
