    I recently met with the race team at Ferrari of Houston with Risi Competizione. They are a great group that competes on the highest level of motorsport. They are a sponsor here at Ferrarichat and they have been with the Challenge Series since the beginning through all of the models with the highest number of drivers.

    I found out that they have arranged for a limited number of individuals to join them on their journey to compete at LeMans. They have spots available to support the team and follow the racing up close as well as additional stops in Europe along the way depending on what you would like to experience.

    So if you are interested in a Bucket List trip to Le Mans and would like to see their Ferrari 488 GTE go up against Ford again on their 50th anniversary - this may be your ticket. All funds go toward the trip and supporting the team racing. Sounds like a win.

    See the attached link for options:

    Looks like a fantastic opportunity. I'd probably rather go to this than the Super Bowl and I am a rabid football fan...

    It will be a great week in Le Mans. Interesting offer from Risi, what are they asking for it?

    I think the Risi Hospitality area with the team is $7,500 for the days there.

    Half are for expenses, half to support running the team.

    They have another travel package to see lemans and more of Europe in exclusive settings and the price for that one is quite a bit more.

    Thanks, Robb for posting the Risi Competizione Le Mans info.

    If anyone wants more detailed info, please contact me, David Christian at 760-285-2220 or [email protected].

    it is going to be incredible this year! Audi wants revenge on the Porsches for Overall and Ford is bringing FOUR Ford GT's to fight the Ferraris!

    Yeah, the 488 is a different car for sure. Much more focused on aero. Both cars are restricted in power, of course.

    The Luxury Tour is over the top and definitely for the more affluent. But the Hospitality Suite portion is more approachable for those of us that are not faced with the decision of which La Ferrari to drive today.

    Really, if you have ever thought about going to Le Mans, this is the year! There are going to be some intense battles in several classes. Ford vs Ferrari is just part of it.

    Watch for the Risi Competizione Ferrari #62 at Sebring. We were very fast in practice.
