This is something I have wanted to do for 30yr's and it can be arranged through your local dealer but you MUST be an owner. Anyway I am trying to organize a trip for next year with a few owner's I know, wish me luck :wink: ! If anyone is interested in this I would be very happy to help you so you can be apart of this tour, basically all I would have to do is put your name on the list! :wink:

Checkout these statement's from member's who been on the tour:

Been there , done that, and had a really great time. During my visit the day before the tour I met an American in town who worked for Ferrari. He said he would meet me at the factory the next morning before the tour. When I got the in the morning he was waiting and had key chains, and brochures and all kinds of good stuff waiting for me. At the end of the tour I mentioned to him that I was coming back the next day he said why, you already got the tour? I said that there was no way I was going to miss the museum and it was closed today. he said wait one moment and he made a phone call. When he got off the phone he said go on over they will open up for you. I couldnt believe it I had the entire place to myself and my friend Noel. We wandered around the museum for a couple of hrs and they allowed us to take all the time we wanted and nothing was roped off. I was able to walk right up next to all the f1 cars and you could see the names of all the drivers "carved" into the leather on the seats. Took tons of pictures. (pre digital) Want to go back and do it all over again. The second time I went to Italy we were touring ducati when a few British guys who were on the tour said how would you like to come with us later on. We said where you going. They said they had an appointment at 200 to tour Lamborghini and we could be their "long lost cousins from the US" I said holy smokes stepped in it again !! and off we went, couldnt believe the luck. someday if I ever learn how to scan photos I would love to post a bunch of these.



when I went I ( 5 years ago) was allready in Italy & had a chance to divert my trip, i called our local dealer & said no way, I e mailed FNA & they imediatly responded & got me in on a non english tour that next day. Of course I said yes.
Not really knowing where I was going I pointed my rented alfa twoard the town. I knew I was in the right place when we saw all these cars on the side of the road & people hanging from the fences, watching the F1 cars testing.

As I drove up to the factory I pulled up to a gate( the wrong one) , as Schumi was leaving in a masarati spider! Then Rubens right behind him.
It was the same week they opened Ferrari world & it was the week before the italian grand prix. Everyone was very accomidating. They( factory) even got us into a good hotel downtown as everything was booked because of the GP weekend. I have to say I was very impressed

I'm actually travelling to Italy for my Sisters Wedding in Oct, and I'm hoping to fly up to visit the Mecca of F1. 8):wink:

Would be great to get a huge group going... :)

This could be good as an organised Forumula1 trip?

Yah that would be great although they do have rule's and one of them is something like an owner can only have a maximum of two guest. I will call FNA again on monday and get more detail's.

Pimping yourself eh certom? :D

I'll be looking for an 'encounter' while I'm there anyway so I guess 'prior arrangement's' should be made right Certom? :lol: Dont hate the playa DD hate the game :wink: ! I think this idea of making it a forum member's tour would be great. I will do my best to make this happen but do not be disappointed if it cannot happen. I will call on some favor's though.

Do we have any Ferrari owner's on the forum?
