I don't think ESM has the GT experience AF corse has, or even what JMW have, but the team is composed of a bunch of all-star talent from IndyCar, prototypes and GT. Also, if Risi Competizione were to reappear in America I wonder if ESM would have equal equipment... (Just speculation there.)

PRO drivers make up the WEC GTE PRO class. So I don't get what that argument is about? The WEC has arguably just as good if not better competition in terms of drivers. Darren Turner and Stefan Mucke have serious GT credentials, as does Aston Martin. They've yet to win a WEC race. The Ferrari is a better car because it's just as fast and better in fuel economy. If ESM needs a break to beat the same types of cars, they're not getting the most out of the Ferrari. That much is obvious, and I don't agree with the BOP for them.
