FASSI Classic 2024

Posted on | by Fassi UK

FASSI UK are proud to continue as sponsor of the 2024 Bugatti Owners Club FASSI Classic Speed Championship.

The Bugatti Owners Club has owned & operated the famous Prescott Hill Climb course since 1938. The FASSI Classic Speed Championship is the UK’s leading hill climb series for the owners / drivers of classic cars.

Three types of car are eligible: saloons , sportscars & racing cars (both single seaters and sports racing cars). There are classes for pre 1977 cars & new for 2024 pre 1986 cars. Drivers must be fully paid-up members of the Bugatti Owners’ Club, & new for 2024 the licence required has been reduced to a MS-UK Interclub Licence which means it has never been easier to get involved.

There are 10 rounds kicking off at Loton Park on the 14th April, with each driver’s best 6 results counting to the final championship positions.

Scuderia FASSI are fielding two cars this season. Our Fiat Abarth 695 SS is back & we are joined by Dave ‘Paganelli’ Fripp in his 1974 Fiat Abarth 124 Spyder rally car. Dave’s Abarth has a long history, competing in many rally events during the 70’s & 80’s. Hopefully Dave won’t get as sideways as Paganelli !

Big thanks to Tony & his team at Middle Barton Garage for their pre-season prep work on both cars.

Elite group at FASSI

Posted on | by Fassi UK

Our first group of certified installers have visited the FASSI Innovation Centre to learn about the new FASSI TECHNO crane systems.

We welcomed representatives from our Main Dealers Alltruck, Avon Crane, Central Crane Technicians, Macs Trucks, The Crane Centre & Walker Cranes.  

The elite group of highly experienced engineers were able to get hands on with the F1750HXP TECHNO under the guidance of FASSI’s experts. They reviewed the features & benefits of the new FX990 control & radio remote systems. Using the new FassiLim software program the group worked through the dynamic set up of the FSC TECHNO stability system.

It was inspiring to see everyone energised & exchanging knowledge with each other as they viewed the new systems through years of experience with the current generation of FASSI cranes. All agreed the TECHNO system is a huge leap forward for the engineer setting up the cranes as well as the operator using them.

On the last afternoon there was time for a tour of some of the manufacturing & assembly factories as well as spare parts logistics. All interspersed with some excellent lunches & dinners of course.

A very big thankyou to the team at FASSI Gru for the excellent training & hospitality.
