Ferrari 360 Challenge - 3,586cc V8 developing 400bhp at 8500rpm in a sealed package. Top speed is 185mph and 0-62 in 4 seconds. The 360 Challenge is driven in five championships around the globe. According to the drivers - not excessively expensive to race. There is a free tyres deal for all competitors, courtesy of one of the sponsors. A spectacular accident at the end of Day 1 in which a car hit the wall at speed and overturned demonstrated the strength of the body.
