Modena switch to GT2 Ferrari
Team Modena have announced they are to switch from the GT1 class of the Le Mans Series to GT2 next year, and will swap their Aston Martin DBR9 for a Ferrari F430
The future of GT1 on both sides of the Atlantic is currently in doubt, with the works Chevrolet team - the only full-season GT1 entrants in the American Le Mans Series - stepping over to ALMS GT2 next year, and GT1 entries dwindling in both the LMS and FIA GT Championship.
Modena team principal Graham Schultz said his squad are not expecting an easy time in the GT2 category.
"Running the GT2 car will be a new challenge for us," he said.
"GT2 is highly competitive in the LMS, but we have shown before that we can be winners in that series, and we are sure we will be able to show the professionalism and performance that people have come to expect from us in international sportscar racing."
The team have yet to announce their drivers for next season.
Modena duo Tomas Enge and Antonio Garcia won three out of five GT1 races in this year's LMS, but were beaten to the class title by the Alphand Corvette.
