This family run Ferrari 458 GT3 team, with driver Shaun Balfe, will race for the podium in the first race of the GT Cup Championship at Donington Park Race TrackAfter winning the Pirelli Ferrari Open and the "Best Team Car Preparation" Trophy last year, Balfe Motorsports are aiming high and are prepare to fight with anyone who wants to win. Shaun Balfe will be a solo driver at the wheel of the 458.
"I am particularly impressed by the calibre and numbers in the 2014 GT Cup this season, it potentially offers some great GT racing against like-minded individuals; with some good teams in the paddock, it won't be easy to get on the podium" - said Shaun Balfe when asked about his outlook of the Gt Cup championship.
Balfe Motorsports are very familiar with GT Racing, having made it all the way up to FIA GT1 in 2006 with David Balfe, Shauns father as team manager in their Saleen. They were one of the very few privateer teams on the grid in 2006. Shaun's last partner was Joel Barbosa who was his team mate at the 2006 FIA GT Hungaroring Race.
Since 2011 when he won the Radical UK Cup in an SR8 Shaun has missed full season attacks and this year he is back for a full on assault. Shaun's last GT Cup event was in 2013 when he ran in a customer 458 Challenge and in the wet qualified on front row next to the BMW GT3.
