Brazilian prepares for racing return following Acura announcement.

"I've already employed a general manager, John Anderson. Those familiar with motor racing in the States will know his pedigree. He has a wealth of experience and last year was an integral part of the group that took Dario Franchitti to the IndyCar driving title and victory at the Indianapolis 500 with Andretti Green Racing. John and I are now working flat-out to get the right people in place. It's going to be a huge challenge, but one that we are relishing. We will take delivery of the car soon after the Twelve Hours of Sebring and we are hoping to race sometime before mid-season, as soon as we are fully prepared.

"The challenge is enormous, but that makes it all the more exciting and, hopefully, rewarding."

Who will partner de Ferran in the car remains to be seen, with the Brazilian having 'some ideas' on potential additions to the driver line-up.
