360
GTs in Preparation Two separate teams have announced plans for customer 360 Modenas prepared
for the FIA GT Championship.
At first it was thought that only the JB competition team was working
on such a project. JB are better known as the team that has successfully
competed in the SportsRacing World Cup with the F333 SP. Ex Formula
One driver, Jean-Pierre Jabouille has just left the team and it will
now be re-named JMB Competition after its co-founder Jean-Michel Bouresche,
who has now assumed sole control. For 2000 the team will continue with
its 333SP programme (it won the opening round at Barcelona) and also
with the preparation of a series of 360 GTs.
Simultaneously, Ferraris’ in-house tuning shop, Michelotto, have announced
that they, too, are preparing a series of 360 GTs aimed at privateers
in the various GT championships springing up around the world. Michelotto
are well-known for having developed and supported many of the various
customer racing efforts in the past, including 308 rally cars, F40 LMs,
the aborted F50 GT programme and latterly the 333SP Evoluzione.
