Ferrari racing day - 15 September 2012 (pic heavy)

[Ian_C]

As I was in the Silverstone area for the BMW show at Santa Pod last weekend I took the opportunity to go and have a look at one of the Ferrari Racing Days at Silverstone on the Saturday. It really was a fantastic day out for petrolheads and I would recommend that you go along to one yourself if you get the chance. The day culminated in a world record attempt for a parade of Ferraris - almost 1000 took part (964 to be exact) and will probably get an entry in the next Guiness Book of Records. Here's some pics of the day:

Star spotting #1 The lovely VBH!



Star spotting #2 Massa (going slowly )


Interesting number plates:
BEEFY (Ian Botham maybe?)


BAILEY


ALONSO


HEDGEHOG?!


Petrolhead exotica:




















You'd think that you'd try to be more careful if you owned one of these beauties...


Even Ferrari drivers put questionable wheels on their p&j


Taxi meter or lap timer?!


Ferrari had their f1 clienti programme running so there were a few older F1 cars on display and on track for those with enough disposable income to spare...










There was also a full qualifying and racing programme to watch...






...and the day culminated in the most spectacular parade. It took almost 20 minutes for the 3-a-breast parade of cars to go past the start/finish straight


















Kinda reminded me of zedfest a couple of months and got me wondering whether we could do something like this with the BMW marques...

I went to one of these Ferrari Shows at Silverstone some years ago. I went on both Saturday & Sunday it was that good, it certainly was something I will never forget.
