The new factory-produced Ferrari 360 GT came right off a plane from the Ferrari factory and onto the historic 3.4-mile road course at Watkins Glen International to make its racing debut during the 6 Hours of The Glen. Scuderia Ferrari of Washington drivers Cort Wagner and Bill Auberlen out-ran the competition with the #33 Ferrari to earn their first win of the season and the first win for the new factory-produced Ferrari 360 GT. If that was not impressive enough, a few weeks later Wagner and Auberlen piloted the Ferrari to a second win in the Jani-King Paul Revere 250 at Daytona International Speedway. With four races remaining in the Rolex Sports Car Series schedule, the pair has nothing but high aspirations for more victories and a shot at the championship.
