    I've got a challenge on my hands. I am looking for my fathers old 355 Challenge car.

    It was delivered to him by Garage Francorchamps in Belgium, (used). He raced the car for 2 years.

    Year: 1996
    Color: Yellow
    Type: conversion from road car
    Body: Gen 2 Challenge body with rear wing
    VIN: Ferrari ZFFPR42B000101995

    If anyone is aware of this car... I would love to connect.

    Do you have by any chance a list of the races he participated in? For this chassisnumber I have only 2 in my files:

    Spa Ferrari Days - Spa-Francorchamps Ferrari Challenge Europa Final race on 3 - 5 May 1996
    Tutte le Ferrari in Sicilia - Coppa delle Nazioni on 7-9 November 1997

    Today I saw a yellow 355 CH with wing from Garage Francorchamps at CarTech in Munich, Germany.
    I think it's a stored customer-car but maybe drop them a mail to check the VIN. Be aware that they are busy and not the best in communication...

    Was it the 355 CH auctioned at SPA via Bonhams? Think so.

    I remember being in Sicily at Ena when I was 9 years old. So those records are correct.
