Ferrari 360 Modena makes 2002 debut
The ALMS/ELMS has approved the racing version of the Ferrari 360 Modena to campaign in the GT class next year against the perennial champ Porsche 911 GT3-RS. This is the same version that currently is raced in the FIA GT series. MSB Motorsport is expecting to ready for the Petit LeMans this year as a shakedown for the car in the ALMS.
It is about time Ferrari are a force in sportscar racing again. Even if it is a privateer effort. We need a traditional battle between two of the world's best sports car makers. |

3 way battle. Don't for get the BEAMERS. They will have to be quick to beat the M3's.

it has been too long without a factory ferrari sportscar on the trck somewhere and with most of the 333 SPs being retired, it's good to see something filling that void. that 3 way battle could be absolutely great

Google says MSB is Mid Size Bentley. Why is Bentley sponsoring a Ferrari? :confused:
Who is the driver at Petit Le Mans - and who owns this privateer team? |
