One of the most exciting parts of writing a club report is always the research you do beforehand. You can either focus on the car or, of course, try to find out more about the racing team. Or both.

A lot has already been written about the Ferrari 458 GT 2, and Carrerathere’s really no need to say much about the car itself. The 458 is one of the most beautiful models in the current lineup (and this is coming from someone who doesn’t really care much for modern Ferraris).
The handling of this Maranello-built race car is outstanding; only its slightly excessive weight sometimes dampens the driving pleasure a bit.


What made this report more exciting was the research into the team.

A.T . Racing?
Behind that name is a Belarusian driver duo—father and son—who live in Mödling, Austria. The racing team is based in Vienna. Alexander Talkanitsa Senior founded the racing team in 2008; before that, he drove for the Italian team AF Corse (which has also produced several models Carrera ), for which he still occasionally races today. AF CORSE is a partner of AT RACING. In 2008, AT was still racing the Corvette C5R; now they race only Ferraris. Since 2010, the driver lineup has been bolstered by his son, Alexander Junior, who also races for AF CORSE. And quite successfully, as evidenced, among other things, by their victory in the 12-hour race at Mugello in 2014.
 
There’s a really good website for the team that I highly recommend: http://www.atracing.at/
