LAKEVILLE, Conn., July 30 – Ferrari Challenge North America points leader Enzo Potolicchio (Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale) took the first race at Lime Rock this past weekend but in the second had Emmanuel Anassis (Ferrari of Quebec) nearly tapping his rear bumper.

Anassis had also set the fastest lap for the 458 class, turning a 0:55.912 on lap 8 in race 2.

Juan Hinestrosa (Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale) won both races for the 430 class, taking seventh overall in the first race and eights in the second – an outstanding showing for the F430 Challenge.
