Prodrive Teams Adds Strength For Petit
In an effort to win the American Le Mans Series GTS class Manufacturer's Championship for Ferrari, as well as the Team Championship, the Prodrive team has entered a third car in the Petit Le Mans and has added strength to its driving line up for the race.
With its season-long battle against the factory Chevrolet Corvette team having swung in its favour recently with three consecutive class wins in ALMS races, the Prodrive team has helped Ferrari close to within only eight points of Chevrolet in the battle for the coveted Manufacturer's title.
Because of the long distance of the race, Prodrive has added third drivers to both of its regular ALMS entries, with the No.80 car line up of Jan Magnussen and David Brabham being joined by F1 test driver Anthony Davidson, and Tomas Enge and Peter Kox being joined by veteran racer Alain Menu in the No.88.
The third entry will be driven by Jan Lammers, a long time veteran of both sports cars and F1 racing, as well as French veteran Jerome Policand and Care Racing Development's Frederic Dor, owner of the three Ferrari 550 Maranellos.
