A new Iveco Irisbus motorhome Domino HDH was presented to the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 team at the Fiorano race track last week in the presence of Stefano Domenicali, Ferrari Racing Department Team Principal and Marco Monticelli, Iveco Vice President External Relations & Communication. At the ceremony were also Luca Badoer, official Ferrari test driver and Enrico Vassallo, Irisbus Italia General Manager.

The new motorhome, based on the 450 CV Cursor 10 engined Domino HDH luxury coach, will escort the Formula 1 Test Team on the World Championship race tracks during racing events. It will be used mainly as a hospitality area for the drivers and the team, while at the official race events it will be also reserved for media and sponsor activities .

Iveco Irisbus has thus consolidated its partnership with the Ferrari team, to whom the company delivered a motorhome in 2002 and a minibus Proxys in 2006, and has reinforced its specialization as supplier of customised vehicles for sports teams, having recently designed and produced the motorhome for the Liquigas Cycling Team and the coaches for Torino, Juventus and  Chievo Verona Football Teams.
