Melbourne-based GT team, Vicious Rumour Racing, will campaign its Ferrari 458 GT3 in the 2016 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour.
Hoping to continue its podium success (in the GT3-Am class) from this year’s race, the team has retained drivers Andrea Montermini, Benny Simonsen and Renato Loberto while team owner Tony Defelice will join the squad behind the wheel.
“It’s an awesome circuit. The top section is very fast and it takes commitment to be quick there. I wanted to get some laps under my belt before doing the 12 Hour. And at Easter we had races in the wet too so I’ve got experience there in varied conditions.” said Defelice.
“I’m really excited to be back with the Vicious Rumour Racing team again,” added Simonsen. “The Bathurst 12 Hour is one of the best GT events out there, and the track is the best in the world for me. So to be racing a Ferrari around the best race track in the world is every drivers dream, and we will push hard to go one better than this year, and take the top step this time.”
The team will undergo testing in early January in Victoria, before making the trip up to Bathurst.
