Hey guys, Costa at FX Performance will be on Daytona 24 Hrs. driving a Ferrari 360GT (#53). The following is the schedule and will be on Speed Channel this weekend. - http://www.grand-am.com/Content/DOCS/PDF/2005/2005%20Rolex%2024%20Detailed%20Sched.pdf - TV Schedule (Speed Channel) : http://www.speedtv.com/programs/159/ As you know, Costa was a factory test driver for Ferrari for many years and managed several Ferrari Challenge Teams. He is one of the best drivers out there, and hopefully he'll do really well (and be safe) in the race. Let's wish him the best!!! - Patrick
Costa, It was nice seeing you yesterday and going for lunch. The restaurant will be my new favorite one. Wishing you the best possible at Daytona.
It is unbelieveable that after 2 consecutive winning years with the Ferrari Challenge with the other 2 Ferrari dealerships and suppliers of parts for fxPerformance...it ended up being that Tony Schwartz of Auto Gallery and La Monica's NY-Pizza ended up sponsoring me for the Rolex 24 race at Daytona with the Italian Team MasterCar. Thanks for all your support and let's go out there and show them how its done...."Costa Style" The attached picture was the debut of the first 360 GT at the Rolex Daytona race with Bill Auberlen and Cort Wagner in 2002. Stay tuned for more pics as the race starts. Forza Ferrari, Auto Gallery and La Monica NY-Pizza Image Unavailable, Please Login
