Founded in 2005, Corsa Motorsports is the only professional motorsports team based in Utah. The team operates from a 9,000 square-foot race services and technical facility.  Corsa Motorsports owns two Ferrari 430 LMGT cars and will field them in the GT2 class of the American Le Mans Series. Another Corsa Motorsports initiative is to provide technical race car tuning and performance services for custom race cars beginning in the summer of 2008.  The team is owned and operated by Utah commercial real estate developer Steve Pruitt and wife Tere.

During the 2008 ALMS season, Corsa Motorsports will campaign a Ferrari 430 LMGT and compete in the GT2 class.  Drivers Gunnar Jeannette and Johnny Mowlem will split driving responsibilities for the season, and Ralf Kelleners will assist for endurance races at Sebring and Petit Le Mans.

Corsa Motorsports is dedicated to the history, passion and competition which is unique to Ferrari and its GT cars. Corsa’s roots began in the Ferrari Challenge series from which it migrated to professional sports car racing with the conversion and development of the first F430 Challenge for competition in the GT class of the Rolex Grand Am Championship of the Americas to which Corsa added the Michelotto version of the F430 GT in the GT2 class for the American Le Mans Series.
