There was plenty to see and do for Ferrari fans at this past weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.
For starters, the Italian sports car maker showed two UK debuts at this year’s event, the new 458 Spider and the lighter and more powerful California 30, both of which tackled the famous 1.16-mile hill climb route.
Joining the two cars on the track were the flagship V12-powered, four-wheel drive FF and the 2009 F60 F1 single-seater driven by Scuderia Ferrari driver Marc Gené, who had this to say about the race:
“The track is extremely narrow, so it feels quite fast even though we are only doing 250 km/h (155 mph). We have brought the car here because it won in 2009 and we like to bring F1 to the fans here in England. The Festival of Speed is one of the biggest – if not the biggest – events in the world.”
For fans of older Ferrari models, the Maranello-based automaker had several classic cars on display including Nick Mason’s rare 250 MM from 1953, the ex-Carrera Panamerica car, a 250 GTO, 250 SWB, 275 GTB4, 365 GTB4 and 288 GTO, just to mention a few.
