Hi Britt

On Saturday we reckon we had 434 in the FOC car park, plus there were about 30 - 40 in the VIP car park plus of course all the competition cars. So I guess total Ferraris around 600+ or so.

Our new Guinness Book of Records total is officially 385 cars. That is defined a cars travelling 2 miles on track in close formation. In fact it actually stretched the whole 3 1/4 miles of the Silverstone track and I waved my yellow flag for a whole 13 minutes as you went past!

Glad you enjoyed it - and I'll forgive your parking - I was only teasing (but don't do it again!!)

Enjoy Le Mans.

BTW. I enjoyed meeting and talking to amongst others. Marcel Massini and Antoine Prunet.

Great weekend.

Francis

Various ferrari historical races
FOC UK races for the club series
New World Record 364 Ferraris on the track last night doing a lap, including
the good old 400i
200+ car display laps (Including me and the 400i)
and today we had 43 F40s (all red) on the track for a display and at head of
the pack around the track.


I lost count but we had at least 500 cars at Silverstone yesterday and today
with just about every model you can imagine from 1967 forward and a load of
older stuff as well. When everybody left Silverstone last night at about the
same time it looked like a Ferrari explosion on the A43 as everyone was heading
for the motorway. Great weekend here in the UK and hot sunny weather to boot.


Did I mention I am leaving to drive to Le Man on Wednesday for the 24 hour
race??


Yahoooooooo
