Lebanese driver Tani Hanna finished second at round one of the 2018 Ferrari Challenge Asia-Pacific at Albert Park in Melbourne, Australia, driving a Ferrari 488 Challenge in a field of 29 cars.
He set the second-fastest time in the Shell class in qualifying and started race one from second, but slid off in the rain and retired. The safety car led the field for five laps in the wet conditions.
Starting race two from 27th, on a dry track, Hanna passed car after car and climbed all the way to second for another international podium.
I am happy to have finished second in race two and I dedicate this to my country Lebanon, whose flag decorates my car. What I achieved in race two is great, going from 27th to second surprised everyone.
