As the owner of a company with eight locations in Northern California, Geoffrey Palermo leads GMP Cars, LLC, which is dedicated to the repair, restoration, and upgrade of exotic vehicles. Complementing his work, Geoffrey Palermo is a recreational race car driver who recently competed in the Ferrari Challenge North America, held in Austin, Texas, in 2018.
Recently, Corse Clienti (Ferrari’s customer racing division) announced the new Ferrari Challenge UK series, which will see its inaugural season in 2019. The event will be open to any UK owner of a Ferrari 488 Challenge race car and will take place on four circuits in the United Kingdom: Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Croft, and Silverstone.
Though competitors will abide by the same regulations and rule book established for similar Ferrari Challenge events, the UK series will only require participants to secure an MSA National A license rather than an international one. The first event, the prologue and test, will take place at Brands Hatch on April 25th, followed by races 1 and 2 at the same circuit on the 18th and 19th of May. The series concludes with races 7 and 8 at Silverstone September 21-22.
