Too bad, Ferrari made a name for themselves in all kinds of racing, especially Le Mans and Daytona endurance racing. I would like to see more factory support, but they are focusing all of their attention on F1. Can't blame them though, huge amounts of money are invested in F1 and all the money they are paying Schumi! :-)

The Olive Garden 550 in GTS has pulled out to concentrate just on the American Le Mans series, so only 2 Ferraris will be at Le Mans.

yep, it's too bad, the 333 isn't even close to what the current LMP900 cars do, but then again, the 333 is how many years old? at least a decade?

I saw 333s in both 1994 and 1995 (and an F40 at least one of those years), but not sure whether Ferrari have been there since.

If I remember right a 333 was on the first row one of those years, but didn't last the race.

That's great news, Rob...kind of like Sebring - Take 2 . I'll be tuning-in to that race for sure.

The Prodrive and Olive Garden 550's will be entered in the GTS class and the JMB 360's will be in the GT class.

Anyone know the last time a Ferrari was at Le Mans, I think it's been several years.
