Let's say that FCA doesn't need a "win on sunday, sell on monday" racing program in USA, being the most successful market for ferrari and maserati.
Alfa romeo released giulia with the goal to break the 3 german manufacturers hegemony in luxury sedan segment; guess they are aiming more for europe than USA... but who knows.
An alfa DPi program could be planned and done in 3 months....
bring a dallara lmp2 chassis, modify rear subframes and suspensions to fit the 488 gt3 engine, change nose/headlights and you get a brand new car for team risi.
