After building Porsche's for years it was only a matter of time before a Ferrari snuck it's way in the door. The car is going to be run by Sigalsport/formerly RUMBUM at the 24 hour race in late January at Daytona. The FIA factory built Ferrari Challenge car will need to be converted to American/Grand Am specs to be allowed to compete in the USA's premier Autorace.
The Piercemotorsport team will remove the FIA cage and supply a Grand-AM spec rollcage adding both safety and stiffness to the Ferrari chassis. Additionally Piercemotorsports will build crash support bars underneath both front and rear bumpers, replace Ferrari's single rear airjack (which bolts to the nosecone of the transmission) with dual rear airjacks, remount and protect front radiators, build center console supports, seats, harnesses, and the 3 Grand-am required window nets. We are excited and very fortunate to be a part of the effort, and look forward to seeing the car compete at America's highest level of racing. I'll update the thread often so you can see the progress, follow the car on it's trip to the 24 hours of Daytona!!!
