Two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans class-winning Petersen Motorsports/White Lightning Racing announced today that it will campaign the Ferrari F430 GT in the American Le Mans Series beginning in 2007. The two-time, GT2 class Series Champions will enter their first race under the legendary banner of the Ferrari prancing horse at the season-opening Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring on March 17. The move to the most renowned name in motorsports comes on the heels of two consecutive American Le Mans Series Driver Championships for the Michael Petersen-owned and Dale White-managed team. The program will see the highest level of factory support the Nevada-based organization has enjoyed in its impressive sports car racing career. However, the partnership with Ferrari Corse Clienti stops short of a full-factory effort allowing the No. 31 to pursue a third consecutive IMSA Cup championship for privateer entrants.
