Double FIA GT
Championship winners, BMS Scuderia Italia, have finalised an
agreement with Care Racing Development to campaign two of
its Prodrive-developed Ferrari 550 Maranellos in the GT1
category of the 2005 Le Mans Endurance Series.
The new deal sees the highly successful business
relationship between the two companies move into a 4th
successive year.
The Italian, Brescia-based, team has also announced its
plans to compete with the Ferraris in the 24 Hours of Le
Mans for the first time since 1997 [which was with a Porsche
911 GT1], using the pre-selected entry awarded to them as
FIA GT Champions.
BMS will apply to the ACO for a second entry with the aim
and hope of entering as a two-car team.
Having won two successive FIA GT Championship Team titles
and the 2003 Drivers' title with Thomas Biagi and Matteo
Bobbi and, in 2004, with Luca Cappellari and Fabrizio Gollin,
BMS has decided to run in a different programme which it
considers more in line with its new sporting ambitions.
In addition to its Le Mans Endurance and 24 Hour plans, BMS
will take part also in the Italian GT Championship with a
further two Care Racing owned Ferrari 550 Maranellos.
