Ferrari team ready to battle BMW and Corvette teams

Americanlemans.com presents an exclusive interview with Risi Competizione Team Manager David Sims. In the interview Sims looks back on the 2008 season, shares the plan to improve and greets the new GT2 competition with open arms.

"With BMW coming in and Corvette coming in GT2, and Porsche will improve again so we have to keep one step ahead and on par with those guys," Sims told americanlemans.com. "It's good for the sport. The sport needs it, so it's up to us to keep up or get better. We have to."

The pedigree certainly is there. Since introducing the Ferrari F430 GT in 2006, Risi has won two class championships, 14 races and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
