LISA CLARK Wins Ferrari Challenge Race 1 at Imola, Nearly Scores Top-6 World Final

October 30, 2022

• LISA CLARK delivered a masterclass in patience and racecraft at Imola, climbing from her starting position to win Shell-AM in Race 1 with a perfectly timed move that caught her rivals off guard. While chaos unfolded around her with multiple safety cars and contact incidents, Clark kept her cool and seized the moment when it mattered most, proving she belongs on one of racing’s most historic stages.
• The weekend showed both sides of racing fortune for CLARK – after her brilliant Race 1 victory, she was running competitively in sixth place during the World Final with a legitimate shot at a top-five finish when mechanical gremlins struck her Ferrari with just four minutes remaining. It’s the kind of heartbreak that stings, especially when you’re mixing it up successfully with the European regulars and showing you can run their pace.
• What makes CLARK’s performance even more impressive is the bigger picture – she’s been methodically building experience across both the North American and European Ferrari Challenge series throughout 2022, working with GT ace Alessandro Balzan to sharpen her skills. The results speak for themselves: she’s gone from learning the ropes to winning races and genuinely contending for World Final podiums, setting up what should be an exciting 2023 campaign with realistic expectations for more victories.
