    Is there a racing series in the US that Ferraris consistently compete in (including privateers)? I know there were a few 360s in the Rolex 24, but I've tuned into the Ferrari Maserati race at Fontana, and today's ALMS race in Atlanta, and there were no Ferraris to be found in either.

    Ferrari sponsors a series called the 360 challenge:

    which is exclusively open to 360's. The series is a lot of fun to watch, and the paddock area is very accessible so you can see the race teams working on the cars and talk to the drivers in between sessions.

    First race was in Fontana- next one is next month in Las Vegas. This year they're running as a support race for the Grand Prix in Montreal as well.
