Abarthisti to support the 2010 Trofeo Abarth 500 GB
Abarthisti will be supporting the Trofeo Abarth 500 GB race series that’s due to start in the spring of 2010. The Abarthisti logo will be carried by at least one car in the series, the first of which is that belonging to the Vospers/Pulce Racing team which took delivery of their car at Brands Hatch this weekend.
Abarthisti to support the 2010 Trofeo Abarth 500 GB
It’s hoped that our involvement will lead to unprecedented access to the Trofeo series for all Abarthisti members, including ticket give-aways, pit-lane access, the chance to meet drivers and engineers, and more.
The 2010 race calendar can be found below:

For now, here’s a couple of gratuitous shots of our logo, proudly adorning the sides of the one day-old Abarthisti-mobile.
This isn’t this car’s final livery – the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse race cars are delivered in white from the factory, and we added these temporary graphics for the RaceCar Live event at Brands Hatch.
RaceCar Live is billed as Europe’s only ‘live’ motorsport event, and provides a chance for racing drivers – both current and potential – to meet race teams, sponsors, series organisers and suppliers.
There was also the opportunity for drivers to test a range of race cars around the Brands Hatch circuit, and the Trofeo Abarth 500 was well represented, with four cars in total.
You can read about my experiences as a passenger during one of those tests elsewhere in the Abarthisti Magazine.
