    All F355 Challenge Cars in the Venezuelan Series to start 1997 were Rosso Corsa and had an extra side blade at the rear of the air intakes. Kind of like the Audi R8 of today or the Cayman GT4.

    I found it interesting. Not sure if this was an OEM part... But all the cars were equally outfitted.

    I was there; that was my very first Ferrari series experience; I was just 17 years old.

    Gianca,

    Do you have any programs or information on the Ferrari Challenge in Venezuela back then? Thanks.

    What specifically are you looking for? I knew of a guy who ran on the series and also had a prototype from Ford back in those days.

    I just found out that the guy I had in my mind as a source is serving some time.
    I'll keep on looking.

    There are two other forum members that may have some information on the Ferrari Challenge Venezuela.

    Robb,
    I just bumped to this video posted by Petrolicious who feature a 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial who was the very first Ferrari broght to Venezuela in the 1950's after a request made from the venezuelan president to Enzo.

    Could this be the reason why Venezuela had a Challenge among Europe and USA?

    Minute 1:35 starts talking about the request made to Enzo.
