It's nearly six years since Dario Franchitti's competetive motorsport career came to an end at an IndyCar race in Houston. Yesterday, he climbed aboard a Ferrari 250 GT SWB/C to race wheel-to-wheel once again.

Qualifying in 23rd position, after the car failed to complete the practice session, Dario, together with team-mate and car owner John Hugenholtz, climbed through the field to finish in eight position. Speaking to us after he climbed out of the car, he was delighted, to say the least.
