FERRARI CLUB ITALIA

14.03.2007 THE FERRARI CLUB ITALIA IS TWENTY YEARS OLD

The Ferrari Club Italia is exactly twenty years old. This was the reason why the association decided to celebrate its anniversary last weekend (9-11 March) in the place where it all began: Modena, and the town of Maranello in particular. As can be imagined, this was a very important date and not only for the life of the Ferrari Club Iitalia but, above all, for those members who have created such a good feeling over the years.

A unique and exclusive programme of events was arranged which served to make the day even more special. Participants were also able to relive the fundamental landmarks in the life of the Prancing Horse's founder. The event highlights included a series of vehicles on display in Modena's Piazza Grande and Piazza Roma (on Saturday 10 March), a factory visit and the Trofeo FCI at the Fiorano circuit.

The Ferrari Club Italia came about as Enzo Ferrari had wanted a club to be formed, and one was duly founded on 12th March 1987.

The Ferrari Club Italia is twenty years old. This was the reason why the association decided to celebrate its anniversary between 9-11 March in the place where it all began: Modena, and Maranello in particular.


This date was a significant one as it came 40 years after the construction of the first vehicle to carry the Ferrari name, the 125 S. This vehicle would soon be known the world over for its distinctive engine roar while the Prancing Horse symbol gave Italy, and the motor-racing world in general, a dream of a car.

Since then, The Ferrari Club Italia has grown steadily in size thanks to increasing interest from the Prancing Horse’s clients. Professionals, industrialists, entrepreneurs, collectors and drivers have all joined this, the world’s most prestigious automobile club. Their membership allows them to get together on a whole variety of occasions and to participate personally in Ferrari’s most important events. The Club is an integral part of the company and has always been based in Maranello, either inside the factory complex itself or in its immediate vicinity.

The Ferrari Club Italia is open exclusively to owners of Ferrari cars. It is the most privileged ticket to experiencing the life and history of the Prancing Horse marque right from the inside. The Club members have a huge array of opportunities to experience at firsthand the comings and goings of the Scuderia, its drivers and the Ferrari world in general.

They also get to attend the Formula 1 Grands Prix, the unveilings of the single-seaters, the Challenge races, the Concours d’Elegances and rallies in spectacular settings. The Ferrari Club Italia calendar is packed with events, both national and international, many of which offer sportier clients to test themselves in time trials or experience the thrill of lapping the most prestigious of the Challenge circuits.
