Fons Scheltema with his Ferrari 458 conquered the first place in the Shell Cup Finale Mondiale 40-minute-race amongst the Gentlemen. So the weekend in Valencia ended with a big success where Scheltema had been deluded in the Shell Cup category amongst the Gentlemen on Saturday. In the Shell Cup Finale Mondiale, where Scheltema classified 10thoverall and 1st in his class, Alexis De Bernardi crossed the line 18th after heavy traffic in the early stages of the race.
