Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Add End: Official Announcement FOTA pulling out of F1

[Steve Jenkins (steve]

My factory tour is scheduled for Monday, Sep 14th at 2:30pm. That happens to
be the day after we're Ferrari's guests at Monza for the weekend. We've been
assured that we'll get to meet Kimi and Felipe. I'm more of a Kimi fan, and
Keri's more of a Felipe fan, so we're both happy! :)

Larry, 1st I believe it will good for the sport to be Rid of Max and Bernie.
That being said here is my time line:
6/14 I post on Ferrarichat my 2010 Monaco plans and Ferrari Factory tour
6/15 I read a post from Jknight that I had better make my reservations in 
Nice as they are almost gone
6/16 I do an online search for a hotel in Nices, come up empty.
6/17 go into town and AAA the travel agent finds us a normla 3star room 
($59) in Nice for 5 nights $1100 non refundable except for medical reasons
6/18 I get the email that Ferrari and 7 others are pulling out of F1
6/19 I here on Speed the Monaco say NO Ferrari NO race in Monaco
In the 80's when I first went to Montreal for the Canadian GP it was 
cancelled on account of a sponcership war between Moulsen an La Blatt 
brewries.
Everytime I have tried to see a Shuttle launch or landing it has been 
cancelled be cause of weather.
Last month I did not go to the Shuttle launch however I did walk outside the

resturant at Epcot to watth it from there and
you guessed it, clouds kept it from being seen from Disney, but at least it 
got off.
Of course we have been to many F1 races both in Europe and North America.

But I could use the $1100, at lest I have not done airfair yet, bt I will 
when the Ferrari tour is scheduled.
