Thanks to TLP contributer, DAB360 for finding this story.  In further evidence that Ferrari needs to spend more time working on their F1 program and less time on brand image, NBC reports that plans are on track to open the world's first Ferrari Hotel in a new theme park in 2016 in Spain.  BTW, isnt Spain still suffering from the global economic collapse?

CART’s 2.65-liter turbo V8s made more than 1000 hp and helped to set the closed-course record of 241.428 mph on the 2.0-mile oval in Fontana with Gil de Ferran's Honda-powered Team Penske car.
