    I saw a 911 in the video. Was it there as a confrontation or just another team on their own?

    Marchettino gran bel video, ne ho visto tanti tuoi, questo forse il più bello.

    I think even if I were out for the day in a Cup Car, P4/5C would make me feel pretty small.

    I am reminded of the video Ferrari did for the intro of the then new F40. That car also appeared out of the fog on an empty track.

    It remains to be seen if Ferrari working by themselves can create something awe inspiring like P4/5 Competizione here...

    How is the balance? She shaking down well? I know the 430GT is a slippery SOB to set up right at the limit, but what isn't.

    So far the car is really stuck to the ground. The rear downforce is amazing. We hope to get a bit more to the front and feel confidant we will. We will also do a lot of tire development. The Drivers all loved the car as I did and felt it was like driving an F3. Massive grip needs/could take 300 more HP without issue. Mika said he could not get the rear to slide and that it felt a lot different than a F430 GT2.

    I remain hopeful.

    It's funny it was great having a test we opened to the public. To see how many showed up was amazing!

    I have no doubt that can be worked out with tires if you're just looking for a little more.

    I'm sure it's been answered before but I've wondered why the exhaust are shaped as they are? Is it for noise purposes or possibly better flow pattern? Thanks Jim, this team is incredible
