FERRARI OWNERS BREAK GUINNESS WORLD RECORD!

Ferrari and the Ferrari Owners Club GB joined forces at Silverstone on Saturday 09 June, 2007, to set an incredible new Guinness World Record for the ‘Largest Parade of Ferrari Cars’, with an astonishing parade of 385 Ferrari cars, more than triple the previous record. With road and race cars from every decade of the Prancing Horse’s proud and unique heritage, Ferrari owners from the UK and all over the world joined together to create an amazing spectacle to celebrate Ferrari’s 60th Anniversary and the Ferrari Owners Club GB’s 40th .

At the head of the parade was a 599 GTB Fiorano driven by Bruno Senna, nephew of three-time World Champion Ayrton Senna and a specially-liveried 612 Scaglietti which was driven by PC Paul Atkin who recently joined the Ferrari 60 Relay as it toured around the UK. Behind the lead cars were a fleet of Fiorano Ferrari F430 cars , followed by the extensive stable of Prancing Horses from the Ferrari Owners Club GB which made up the bulk of the 385 cars in the parade. After the count had been confirmed, the GWR certificate was presented to Massimo Fedeli, Managing Director of Ferrari GB Ltd and Peter Everingham, Secretary of the Ferrari Owners Club GB, to mark the occasion. A conservative estimate of the value of the cars in the parade would be in excess of £60 million – a perfect number to mark the company’s anniversary year!
