Ferrari Planning To Spoil The Audi, Porsche, Nissan, And Toyota Party In LMP1 LeMans Series

After months of speculation, Ferrari’s future sports car racing plans could be made official as early as this weekend in Le Mans.

Sportscar365 has learned that an announcement from the Italian manufacturer is imminent, and is believed to be scheduled for this Saturday at Circuit de la Sarthe, prior to the start of the 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

No details have been confirmed, but the announcement is believed to be linked towards future involvement in prototype racing.

Talk of a Ferrari factory LMP1 program began late last year when company president Luca di Montezemolo revealed that they were evaluating a potential future effort around the new-for-2014 set of prototype regulations.

As one of the oldest brands in Formula 1, they have fail for around 4 years to do a competitive car for the series, and now they want to join Le Mans?
Enzo Ferrari should be turning in his grave!
Come on Montezemolo, you can do better than that my friend. Be realistic!
