In 2010, Ferrari has had a long battle with thier main opponents Porsche, winning the 24 Hours, Le Mans Series and American Le Mans Series. But thanks to AF Corse, Ferrari was the historic first winner of the LM GT2 class in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup after the Silverstone 1000km. The Italian team will again defend the honour of the Maranello manufacturer at Zhuhai, alongside CRS Racing. For both of these teams it will decide a final title for the F430 GT, to replaced in 2011 by the 458 Italia. In addition, after the launch of the 599 GTO at the last Beijing show, a success at the first major endurance race run in China would consolidate their reputation, already very prestigeous, of Ferrari's largest automotive market in the world. For both sporting and commercial reasons, do not miss the great battle on the track.

The Zhuhai 1000km will be held from November 5th to 7th.
