    St. Petersburg, 11 March 2016 – Martin Fuentes and Scuderia Corsa scored two victories in two races when the Pirelli World Challenge started its season last weekend at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas in the no. 07 Ferrari 458 Italia.

Fuentes dominated the GT-A class in the first two rounds of Pirelli World Challenge at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas just a week ago. After taking pole position for the first race, he led GT-A from start to finish. The second race brought an even stronger performance, as he took GT-A honors again from pole position and finished an incredibly strong sixth place overall. Fuentes has started the season with a strong lead in the GT-A championship.   Tha track. Fuentes and Scuderia Corsa will again be the lone Ferrari representative in the field of 24 GT-class cars.
