Giancarlo Fisichella will contest the full Le Mans Series season in 2010. The 37-year-old Italian, who is a test and reserve driver at Ferrari, had been hoping to secure a race deal elsewhere in Formula 1, but will instead race in sports cars for the first time.
The Le Mans Series today announced that Fisichella will race the full season, but no details were released about what class, car or team he will drive in.
Both Ferrari and Maserati, which is also part of the Fiat brand, have sports car programs running GT2 and GT1 cars, respectively.
