The Ferrari & Maserati Festival of Racing meeting at Donington Park in May 2003 included a race for older Ferraris. The programme of the event says this about this race:
'Designed to be a couple of pilot races for 2003, the initiative is already a hit and more than 20 classic models will be racing at Donington in the first of the series of races. Generally aimed at pre-1990 cars, the class has drawn into action several stunning 1960s cars including two 250s, the 275 GTB of David Cottingham and the 365GTB4 of Grahame Bryant in the class for the oldest cars. The more developed 308s and 328s that used to rule the roost in the Pirelli Maranello Ferrari Challenge have been given a new home in the Classic series and they have supported the event with enthusiasm. Graham Reeder (328), Duncan McKay (308) and Mike Furness (328) have all taken the chance to race their older cars as well as current cars in the PMFC races. With wonderful models like the Dino 246GT of Colin Campbell and the Testarossa of Ray Hanson also due on the grid, it seems that the Ferrari Formula Classic has really captured the imagination of Ferrari owners!'
