Ferrari says it will not make a decision about the development of its 499P Le Mans Hypercar programme into IMSA in 2024 before the summer.
Antonello Coletta, Ferrari's sportscar racing boss, has stressed that the Italian manufacturer remains"totally concentrated on WEC" in the wake of the debut of its new Hypercar class prototype in last week's Sebring 1000 Miles season-opener.
He explained that a 2024 IMSA programme in GTP will not come onto the agenda until the summer,"probably after the Le Mans 24 Hours". "The future in IMSA is not a subject for this moment," he said."IMSA is an important championship that will probably be taken into consideration. "But the WEC is the most important championship and we prefer to go step by step, in 2023 just WEC and in 2024 we will see.But Coletta, who outlined Ferrari's interest in racing its LMH in IMSA as long ago as July 2021, reiterated the importance of the American market to the brand.
