[EMPIRE]

Is Team Sahlen driving the Rx8's next year? I see SpeedSource is running Ferrari's for 2012. I believe SpeedSource built the 8's for Sahlen, Right?

 

[WillD]

Where'd you see that info? The Sahlen's cars are year old Speedsource cars.

 

[EMPIRE]

Team Sahlen's Rx8's? Or the SpeedSource Ferrari's?

 

[WillD]

Sahlen's RX8's sorry. There were no Ferrari's in Grand-Am last year. So if SpeedSource is in fact going to have Ferrari's they'd be brand new next year: http://www.grand-am.com/news/index.cfm?series=r&cid=44302

"Noteworthy: This year’s racing season has only been over a few hours but Segal has already shifted his thoughts to 2012 “Next year I think big changes are in store,” Segal said. “Looks like we will be in a Ferrari, Emil and I, and the rest of the program should all shake out shortly. Really excited about it, I think that is going to be a good piece for the GT class, and looking forward to trying to be a two-time champion next year.”

jeff and emil are leaving speedsource to race ferrari next year, speedsource is not going to ferrari's

 

[EMPIRE]

Team Sahlen bought the 8's from SpeedSource. Ask Marlon he can give you more info since he knows those guys.

The FXDD team, which was the 69 Speedsource car this year will be a Ferrari next year is the way I read it. But this doesn't change anything with Speedsource other than the fact they won't be involved with the FXDD car...

 

[EMPIRE]

Your right its the FXDD team which campaigned with SpeedSource this year. My bad.

 

[WillD]

Yep, that is what I was trying to say lol.

 

[EMPIRE]

That's what I get for skimming the article. lol

 

[THE Phen]

Ferraris have run in the GT class before, but never a full season.


But... back on topic.
