| December 23, 2014 (Los Angeles, Calif.) – Scuderia Corsa, the championship-winning Ferrari team based in Los Angeles, has finalized its roster of drivers for the TUDOR United Sportscar Championship’s Rolex 24 at Daytona, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Pirelli World Challenge.Beginning with January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona, the no. 63 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 458 Italia will be driven throughout the year by Patron North American Endurance Championship champions Bill Sweedler and Townsend Bell. For the Rolex 24 at Daytona, they will be joined by former GRAND-AM champion Jeff Segal and Anthony Lazzaro. Sweedler, Bell, and Segal teamed in a Ferrari 458 Italia to win this year’s Rolex 24 at Daytona.
The team will also enter the no. 64 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 458 Italia, which will feature an all-Brazilian lineup, with drivers Daniel Serra and Francisco Longo confirmed to drive. Serra, a veteran in the Brazilian Stockcar Series, piloted a Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 458 Italia to fourth on the grid in GT-Daytona qualifying at the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona.
“Daytona can’t come soon enough for us,” said Sweedler. “We are excited to be getting our season started with Scuderia Corsa. We are feeling the pressure after winning last year’s race to be as competitive as possible at Daytona. It is great to have Jeff back with Townsend and myself, and Anthony will be a great addition to the lineup. He’s another guy with a huge amount of experience in the Ferrari and I think we’ll have one of the strongest lineups in GT-D for Daytona.”
Already class winners at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring, Bell and Sweedler will compete in the 2015 24 Hours of LeMans in the GTE-Am class. The duo, as well as an American driver to be named at a later date, will drive a Scuderia Corsa entered Ferrari 458 Italia. |
