Ferrarista.club trip to Maranello in May
The traditional trip to Maranello, since more than twenty have already been organized, was this time exceptional in more than one way.
On the one hand, it started in Turin, where everyone met in the former Fiat factory, the Lingotto, famous for its rooftop test track, and transformed into a hotel. The opportunity to discover a beautiful part of Italian automotive history, which continued the next day with an exceptional private visit to the Stellantis Heritage Hub, which brings together legendary cars from Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Fiat.
On the other hand, we had reserved the new program for the visiting card of the Ferrari factory, allowing us to discover, in addition to the previous editions, the Ferrari foundry, the painting department and the design department. As usual, we had also added, in addition to the classic visit to the assembly lines, the visit to the Scaglietti bodywork, but also the assembly of Formula 1 cars and sporting activities (F1 Clienti and XX program).
To stay in tradition, we also visited the two Ferrari museums (Modena with a Ferrari 330 P4 and Maranello), the Maserati factory, the Pagani factory and museum, the Stanguellini museum, the Motor Valley Festival (presentation in advance -premiere of the Ferrari Roma Spider, Pagani Utopia and Lamborghini Revuelto among others, as well as a very nice tribute to Mauro Forghieri), the Toni Auto garage, etc. We also had the opportunity to see the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale before its presentation, as well as the replacement of the camouflaged LaFerrari, on the road. Not to mention excellent dinners at the best Ferrari-related restaurants.

Parade of 24h of Le Mans drivers in mid-June
We were asked to represent Ferrari during the 24h of Le Mans drivers' parade, which takes place on Friday. We already knew that the Ferrari drivers were on the first two rows at the start. The excitement was at its height. It was just before winning the 24h of Le Mans with the Ferrari 499P!
It was a privileged moment, to be able to be with the 24h drivers the day before the start, in incredible conditions, to rub shoulders with them up close before the start of the parade: the Ferrari drivers, of course, but also Jenson Button, Sébastien Bourdais, Jean-Eric Vergne, etc.
It was incredible to pass through a crowd of 200,000 people admiring our Ferraris, taking photos of them and waiting to hear our engines roar. With a feeling of incredible communion and shared pleasure... on a large scale. Magic ! With top-notch organization from the association that manages the event.
