Two Risi Competizione Ferrari F430GT race cars finished first and second in the GT2 class in the Labour Day Grand Prix of Mosport American Le Mans Series Race held at the Mosport International Raceway, Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada on Sunday. It was a historic day for Ferrari in the ALMS series as Risi Competizione won their third race of the season with the number 62 Risi Competizione Ferrari driven by Stephane Ortelli and Johnny Mowlem; while their teammates, Toni Vilander and Maurzio  Mediani drove the Number 61 Ferri Competizione/Ferrari of Silicon Valley F430GT to second place.

The win was the third of the season for the Houston-based Risi Competizione team; it also marked the first time that Ferrari has captured the top two spots on the podium in the American Le Mans Series.

“We are delighted with this effort by the team,” said team Managing Director Giuseppe Risi. “It doesn’t get any better than a one-two finish. "Remo Ferri and Giacomo Mattioli have joined us to campaign the Ferri Competizione/Ferrari of Silicon Valley F430GT in the ALMS series.
 

"And the result here today shows the what happens when two Ferraris take to the race track," continued Risi. "Stephane Ortelli, Johnny Mowlem, Toni Vilander, and Maurizio Mediani all drove great races. Our crew did a thoroughly professional  job of setting the cars up and the Michelin tyres were superb. It was a great team effort and every member of the team shares in this wonderful result,” he added.
