The Ferrari 60 Relay has made high profile visits to Sweden and Denmark during the last week as the celebration tour makes the long journey south through Europe. The Tour - which is commemorating Ferrari's 60th anniversary - arrived in Sweden from Russia and Finland, before crossing into Denmark.

The Swedish event started at the Swedish Ferrari dealer with the handover of the baton, while the Italian Ambassador was presented with a gift. No less than 85 cars met up in Stockholm by the Royal Castle and were present when the precious baton was passed on. Vintage cars from 1958 and onwards were present. There was a remarkable 275 GTB with racing history, as well as models such as the FXX, Dino, Daytona, 308, 328, 355, 360, 430 and 599 GTB Fiorano. One of the attention-catching 599 GTB's present was owned by Per Gessle of pop group Roxette fame. The assembly of glorious cars was perfectly complimented by the Royal Guards who looked immaculate dressed in blue. There was also a blue Maserati paying a special tribute with a big number "60" on the hood.

The car's parade through the city started at around 11am, when the Tour left behind the F430 with Stefan Nils Edwin Johansson, the former driver of the Scuderia Ferrari, behind the wheel.

Once the cars had arrived at the embassy a photograph of the great Chris Hammon at the Monaco GP of the year 1967 was handed over to the ambassador, followed by the cars driving through the city centre. Eventually the 80 cars arrived at the Royal Palace and crowded the square in front of it. Before the guests took part in the cocktail party at the Italian ambassador's residence, they were all present at the lunch and the following press conference. In the evening the cocktail party was followed by a black tie gala dinner in celebration of the anniversary of Ferrari held at the Grand Hotel, where former 1980s Ferrari F1 star Stefan Johansson was the guest of honour.
 

More than 50 cars and the respective Ferrari owners crossed the impressive connection between Sweden and Denmark: the 5 kilometre long bridge, connecting Malmö with the Peninsula Oresund, where the Danish capital Copenhagen is located.

The baton, made especially for the 60th anniversary of Ferrari testimonial of every stage of this terrific Tour, which circumnavigated the world and will soon arrive in Maranello - was handed over in the middle of the bridge. On one side the numerous cars of the Swedish owners, on the other side the cars of the Danish clients, attending the ceremony. Later on the cars left in the direction of Copenhagen for further Relay celebrations. Eventually at the Opera House in the Danish capital the gift was handed over to the Italian ambassador to Denmark. After a stop at the Jyllands-Ringen circuit the cars left in the direction of the Netherlands under mild weather conditions. Eventually the cars stopped in the vicinity of Hollufgaard, before they finally left in the direction of Germany.

Following its passage through Sweden and Denmark, the Ferrari 60 Relay and the ceremonial 'baton' is now in Germany. It arrived in this vitally important car market for the Maranello carmaker on Sunday and it will leave on Thursday after a series of events, before heading for Switzerland (12th-13th), Austria (14th-15th), Czech Republic (16th), Hungary (17th-18th) and Slovenia (19th-20th) and Turkey (25th). Then there will be a brief visit to North Africa and the Lebanon before the tour begins a final journey winding around Italy, with the whole extravaganza set to culminate in Maranello on 25th June.
