Continuing their pre 2008 season plans, the team recently enjoyed a second highly successful two day Pirelli tyre test session, this time at Monteblanco racing circuit which offered them the opportunity to run their GT2 Ferrari 430 on various Pirelli compounds.

Intensive week for Racing Team Edil Cris. The Team took part on Monday and Tuesday to collective test of the International GT Open with two F430 GTC Ferraris, one in 2007 configuration and the other in 2008, but both equipped with the air restrictors used in the Italian Championship, which are more limited than those employed in the Spanish series.

CR Scuderia has just completed a two-day test at the high-speed Monza circuit in Italy. The first day of the test was the traditional FIA GT Media Day but once the photoshoots and interviews were done the team got down to business, preparing for the new season.
