Singapore’s newest Ferrari Challenge Asia-Pacific driver, Martin Berry, reflects on his debut season, ahead of the race on home ground this month
ASK MARTIN BERRY WHAT SPARKED HIS PASSION for cars and his answer is a simple “it’s just something I was born to love”. But unlike other motoring enthusiasts, the Singapore-based entrepreneur fans this fervour by taking on the 2017 Ferrari Challenge Asia-Pacific race series.
“I’ve always wanted to race GT cars, and when I was evaluating the various race series around Asia, the Ferrari Challenge stood out for me. The series is run by Ferrari, and drivers get access to ex-F1 engineers and mechanics who support us in between supporting iconic races such as Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championships. Having access to this knowledge and experience is invaluable,” enthuses Berry.
