Maserati wraps up first Rolex season
The SFoW Maserati team ended the 2004 Rolex Sports Car Series with one of their strongest performances to date. in the Lexus Grand American 400K at the California Speedway.
Emil Assentato and Steve Earle kept their #33 Maserati Trofeo Light in podium contention for the entire race, but a fuel stop with only two laps left dropped them to fourth in GT at the end.
Team Manager Glenn Marquis looked back at the 2004 season. "We started at Daytona with an almost stock Maserati. The drivetrain was right out of the street Maserati Coupe, completely unchanged. The car showed a lot of potential, but we talked to GrandAm about their 2005 plans, and spend the year developing the car for the future. As we finished the year we have a really good race car."
Maserati at speed--see it again next year?

It was a disappointing day for the second SFoW entry. The #34 Maserati Trofeo Light GT of Bob Segal and Kurt Buchwald completed the reconnaissance lap, but Segal realized the shift mechanism was failing. He took the Maserati to the garage rather than taking the green flag. Rusty West and Bob Faieta also closed out a chapter in SFoW history, racing the team's 2003 GT Championship-winning Ferrari 360 GT to 9th in the GT class. With the change in GrandAm rules for the 2005 GT class, this is likely the last appearance of the Ferrari 360 GT in the series.
