Conquest Racing with Ferrari set for full IMSA WeatherTech season
Conquest Racing with Ferrari is set to compete in the GTD class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship for the full 2024 season, with driver Manny Franco piloting a Ferrari 296 GT3. This marks the return of a full-season Ferrari entrant to the championship after a significant absence. Franco, who currently races with Conquest Racing in the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli and GT World Challenge America, has had recent successes, including two victories in the Pro class at Road America. He believes he is ready for this new challenge. Conquest Racing’s participation in the championship will be their first full-season return to IMSA in over a decade, as the team previously competed in the American Le Mans Series in 2012. Team owner Eric Bachelart expresses pride in Franco’s development as a driver and sees this program as the pinnacle of their Ferrari ladder system. The team also plans to continue their presence in the Fanatec GT World Challenge America championship.
