Any Fisico and Ferrari fans in this forum?

Yeah) Sorry Embarrassed  It's my mistake {Ital-Gala - previous entry}

Linking to stuff in other languages is absolutely fine. After all, it's not like this interview appeared to be available in English. I just took the initiative and decided I'd better provide a translation that made sense (as opposed to the mish-mash the translator decided was apt).

Ali, the alesi interview is directly translated in english when you click britain's flag in his french interview version site.

Fisi will be taking part in the Le Mans Series this season with the Team AF Corsica. Is this a new team? I did a search on the 2009 24 hours Le Mans and found out that there was no such team last year. However the different teams that compete using Ferrari won the top 4 places in the GT2 category.

The team has been around since 2002. They've raced in FIA GT 2. The last few years, they ran at Le Mans. Last year, they also ran at Sebring. This will be their first year to run the full season in the Le Mans Series. I don't know if they will be at Sebring for the race this year, but they aren't on the list for the winter test session that will be held there starting on Monday the 22nd.

I am a die hard Giles and Jean Alesi fan. Thanks for those links. I think he is one of the drivers who could have won many world championships if only he made the right decision and the real rain master in my opinion.

What a beautiful poster, ital-gala! the man in the middle looks familiar...isn't he Olivier Panis?? He is ex f1 driver too like Fisi and Alesi.

There is an article in autosport.com last week that confirms both Fisi and Alesi will be taking part in a test session for Le Mans series on 26/2/2010.


Giancarlo Fisichella and Jean Alesi will test Ferrari 430s at Vallelunga later this month in preparation for their Le Mans Series GT2 campaigns with the manufacturer this year.

Fisichella will race in the LMS alongside his commitments as Ferrari's test and reserve driver in Formula 1. He will be making his debut with the AF Corse team at the Italian track on February 26.

Alesi, who raced for Ferrari in F1 between 1991 and 1995, has already tested with AF Corse last October but will continue to add mileage as he prepares for his first season of GT racing.

I also like this poster
Yeah) It must be Panis) In his recent interview he said this season'd be special for him. He's really happy to see Fisi and Jean and to race with them. He stresses that it's good for LMS and he hopes he'll be able to race against them in LMP1)))

It's really good that a lot of good drivers appreciate Giancarlo

I remember Panis from F1, he is very friendly to other drivers. they all are almost in same age so they get along well together and they have common topics to speak.

[Alianora La Canta]

It turns out that Giancarlo's already done some race car testing this year... According to Speed TV, two days of promotional filming that had previously been assumed to involve Felipe Massa at the wheel (on the grounds that it was Felipe's helmet in the car) was actually Giancarlo's first go in the new Ferrari. This happened at the start of this week.

Since the team was recording promotional material, none of the mileage is deemed "testing" by the FIA's definition of the word. There were no times, in keeping with the promotional nature of the running, but given the amount of rain at the time, we probably couldn't have read anything into the times had they existed.

In short, Fisico is keeping himself pretty busy

Have you seen those commercial films in youtube??
