Because of the cost difference (negligible) and the limitation on driver lineups, I don't see why they'd simply drop down to GTD -- unless someone else was footing the bill.

They reported to Dagys, back in June I belive, that they were taking delivery of a GTD spec Ferrari for a collector who was interested in it racing, but not personally racing it. Sounded to me like delivery of a car for a guy to have it run on the track and gain some history, and he found a great crew to run a Ferrari. Think as Mike said, with the right customer/driver lineup the car will see the track. If not, that collector has a very nice track day toy from a great team for that car.

The cost difference between GTLM and GTD is that small? Is that the running costs or all in, car, crew, tires, etc?
