 In 2004 Maserati completed three MC12 GT1 race cars intended for the FIA GT GT1 class . The AF Corse factory @-@ backed squad debuted the race at Imola , yet the FIA did not allow the MC12 to score points due to its debated homologation . Even with this setback , the team managed to take second and third places . At the next round at Oschersleben , the MC12 of Andrea Bertolini and Mika Salo won for the first time . At the final round of the year at Zhuhai , the FIA finally agreed to <unk> the MC12s and allow them to score points towards the championship . With this , the MC12 again took victory , allowing it to score enough points to finish 7th in the teams championship .
