A great result for Ferrari and James Colado!

It's funny how the stars align sometimes. Huge congratulations to James Calado for winning the Le Mans 24hrs. Many of us know & worked with James at the Thruxton race school as he honed his exceptional skills. A real Ferrari star. The last time Ferrari won? 1965, 58 years ago this week in a car driven by Jochen Rindt. Even more reason to celebrate in Hampshire this coming weekend.
