That Enzo looks awesome, I love the wing!

I'd love to see more of Ferrari in sportscar racing, but they focus on F1 only. Hence the reason they do so well. F1 is becoming more and more of a money pissing contest. As much as I like it, I'm losing interest in F1.

Just because Ferrari doesn't have a factory backed car in most racing leagues doesn't mean they can't be there. Private teams can still run them. There are a few in the GT and GTS classes running in ALMS. Prodrive has two 550 Marenellos (David Brabham and Dane Jan Magnussen are driving one car, should be one hell of a team, hopefully it'll give some competition to the Vettes)
ACEMCO is running a F360, Risi Competizione is running two F360's and JMB racing is also running two F360s. Last but not least, Team Olive Green is still running ther 550. A great year for ALMS fans. (GT class is my favorite) There is also a Zonda from Carsport and a Lamboghini Diable GTR with Vici Racing. I doubt the Diable will be running all the races though.

Ferrari dominates F1 and Porsche dominates Sportscar racing. There are just under twenty GT3 RS's in GT and GTS classes! Even the Speed World Challenge has a large Porsche presence. They don't dominate it, but they do good. IMHO, The Speed World Challenge is incredibly diverse. One reason why it's so good.

Porsche's attitude towards sportscar racing is dead on. Hence the reason they are so successfull with it. Too bad they eliminated BMW from it ALMS. Bastards!

All in all, I'd love to see Ferrari to offically sponser a team in form of racing other than F1. Sadly, it isn't going to happen anytime soon.
