Ferrari should supply an LMP engine before they build an LMP1 machine. Did Scott Sharp crash his way to the 1991 and 1993 SCCA Trans-Am Series titles? How about the 1996 24 Hours of Daytona?

Plus on of the F430 GT2 will be in Patron colors : It's going to be a tough season with the Vette's in GT2. I would like to see Ferrari do a full LMP2 car. (like Porsche LMP2) Just build about 6 cars, and call it a day. OR just build a engine, and get a chassis manufacture. But I cant see a Lola powered Ferrari from some reason lol I dont think they need to build a engine, because cant a LMP2 engine be a GT1 engine?? (i think) But just ask Pordrive if they still have any 550 GT1 engines laying around, and upgrade it. It would be better if Dallara was back in the game. Put the two together, and there is your Ferrari :) Yes I am excited. Plus on of the F430 GT2 will be in Patron colors : It’s going to be a tough season with the Vette’s in GT2.

There is alot of starting a new team in Sports Car Racing. I am going to miss the F430 GT2 though, and I cant wait to see the 458 GT2 on track, and winning races, Le Mans, and championchips :) I think he is doing this to foucs on his new team.

Patron will stick with them. I'm not so sure about Pagenaud going to IndyCar. I think he has stated he wants to be a sportscar driver, however, he has also stated that he wants to stay with Gil. And who can blame him, Gil will be Penske-like in the future and Simon could be his Mark Donohue. So unless Gil has an ALMS program, Simon may be forced into IndyCars.

Aside from who might partner Lewis Hamilton in F1 next year, This will be the lineup news of the off-season.
