    348 TB Challenge ex Roberto Ragazzi

    Year: 1989 - raced in 93, '94
    Model: 348 TB

    Total original, all Stickers, seat belts, seats, all things. Ferrari Classiche!

    History: This car was the first Overall winning Challenge car in '93 with the Italien Driver Roberto Ragazzi, so it is a small pice of history. Pictured in many Yearbooks, Magazins etc.,..

    And, street legal!

    The beginning of all Challenge cars!

    Thanks very much. :D

    How does the challenge drive in comparison to a standard 348? Is it a firmer ride and quicker steering?

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I owned 348CH #094285 (Rosso Corsa) for a number of years, but sold it about 2.5 years ago and replaced it with #098791 (Grigio Met.).
    The gray car got a little exercise at Sebring last Saturday, and seemed to run well.

    Actually, I prefer the gray one- the only Grigio Factory Challenge car, and it has F-40 brakes (added later)!

    I can't speak to Austrian law, but that's a complicated question in the US, where both state and federal laws pertain. For various reasons, that's not an issue I will discuss in a public forum.
    I will only say that there has been a lot of discussion on FChat about the legality of driving any Challenge car on the street, most of it by non-lawyers, and much of it, with all due respect, misinformed.

    No, it just happens that I am working on a personal database with race results. The Challenge series are part of it... Do you know if chassis 81259 was raced by Ragazzi for the full 1993 season?

    Lovely to see it still in it's original racing livery.

    Too many Challenge cars are simply just red, black or yellow. Racing history should be preserved.
