If there was any rust on the No. 62 Risi Competizione Ferrari 488 GT3 or co-drivers Giancarlo Fisichella and Toni Vilander, it certainly wasn’t visible during the Michelin GT Challenge at VIRginia International Raceway (VIR).

Competing in its first International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race since May’s Advance Auto Parts Sportscar Showdown, the team had a solid weekend at VIR. Fisichella qualified fourth in GT Le Mans (GTLM), driving the class’ only Ferrari, and despite losing a few positions at the start of the race in an opening-lap dustup with John Edwards in the No. 24 BMW Team RLL M6, he methodically worked his way back into the top five and was second before pitting to turn the car over to Vilander for the two-hour, 40-minute race’s middle stint.
