The dramatic new FF
four-seat 'gran tourer' and the 458 Italia, both of
which are in the 'Supercar Paddock', are capably leading
out a real plethora of Ferrari road and racing cars from
the historic to the current day at the Goodwood Festival
of Speed this weekend.
This year’s Festival of
Speed is taking place this weekend. The event is one of
the most prestigious meetings for historic cars of all
types, racing and sports cars and is a truly memorable
spectacle for fans who flock to watch. Cars tackle a
hillclimb in the grounds of Lord March’s Goodwood House
in West Sussex. The field covers every aspect of sports
motoring, from the earliest cars of the twentieth
century right up to current Formula 1 cars.
Scuderia Ferrari will
be represented by an F10 and an F60, which competed in
the Formula 1 World Championship over the past two
seasons and they will be driven by Marc Gene, the
Catalan driver who works for the Maranello Scuderia on
car development.
Representing the
Prancing Horse’s road cars will be the new FF, the four
seater, four wheel drive most versatile and powerful car
ever produced by Ferrari, the extreme sports car, the
458 Italia, in its two tone version with Fire Red
coloured bodywork and a Black Daytona roof, as well as
the convertible Ferrari California 8 cylinder, in Tour
de France blue with the roof and front pillars in
Titanium Grey, recalling the traditional colours seen on
the sports cars in the Fifties and Sixties.
Other Ferraris in
action on the 'hill' include the new 458 Challenge while
a 340 America stands out in the Cartier concours
paddock.
