Asked this on a Ferrari forum but got no answer so thought some of you guys may know.

Is anyone building, or planning to build one, or is it too early in the model’s lifecycle for that yet?

It seems to me that the 575 GTCs are getting to the end of their development and were having trouble keeping up with the DBR9s and Corvettes at Le Mans and other GT races this year.

IIRC the 430 GTC is staying a GT2 car so who or what will take the fight to Aston and Corvette for Ferrari in GT1 at Le Mans in 2007?

The 575s have always been slow in relation to the rest of the GT1 field. It's always been the 550's (and the Prodrive built ones) that have been on the pace.

As for the 599, not sure, don't think anyone really wants to foot the incredibly large bill to develop it I should think.
