    I'm watching this Rolex race right now, and just heard the announcer say one of the teams may be going to a Ferrari power plant.
    Anyone know who and when?

    What I caught was that it's someone involved in the Ferrari Challenge - Ferrari engine in a DP - rather see it in a LMP1 or LMP2.

    Level 5=Scott Tucker (430 Challenge competitor) who also owns (or at least has entered) a DP in the recent past.

    IIRC, Ferrari engine development in DP would be entirely a privateer effort, and an expensive one at that.

    I would love to see an official Ferrari effort in ALMS/LMS P1, but Ferrari seems spread a bit thin these days (factory and customer engines in F1, A1GP, 430 Challenge Series, 430GT, FXX/599XX, etc).

    They finished fourth OA at VIR today in their BMW-Riley. Christophe Bouchut (Lemans winner, Daytona 24 Overall winner) was Scott's co-driver and he just rocked! They got a great break with the caution at the end, gained a ton of track position, but it's still cool for them to be there. I saw their GT car looking like it was getting prepped for next weekend at Thunderbolt in the Synergy shops. Hmmm...

    I heard the announcer say that it was Dinan who was going to use a Ferrari lump next year.
