Racing is in the veins of car enthusiasts and super car manufacturers. The industry knows that it will not be taken seriously unless marques compete in important races. Take the Finali Mondiali race, for example. It was in Valencia, Spain at the Ricardo Tormo circuit which saw Ferrari take centre stage.
Races such as the Finali Mondiali are popular because of the motoring excess that spectators get to see and experience up front. Over 30,000 fans of motoring came to watch Ferrari compete. Some of the top elements of the race included the Ferrari Challenge where racers competed from different regions. The popularity of this race was given extra gloss when several Ferrari cars with heralded racers came together to go around the track. Some of these cars include celebrated racer Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari 458, Davide Rigon who was driving the F355, Felipe Massa who made the F430 come to life, Marc Gene in the 348 and Jules Bianchi in the Ferrari 360.
The race was ideal for anyone who loves Ferrari and wants to gorge on the visual delights of Ferrari supercars. These included classic Ferraris which are beautiful head turners especially at the Finali Mondiali. Super car fans who love Ferrari want to see its evolution and these classic Ferraris definitely prove that it is retaining its spot as the car manufacturer to watch.
This race is also popular with private drivers who love Ferrari. There are decommissioned F1 cars that were spotted around the track that were being driven by private drivers. This all inclusive spirit that the Finali Mondiali has shows that Ferrari is breaking barriers even within an exclusive race such as this one. The marque wants to present itself at this race as the super car maker that goes past traditional images of what it is without losing its identity. While there were rumours Ferrari might unveil a new car at the race, the Finali Mondiali didn’t reveal any new cars, just glorious popular ones such as the Ferrari 360 driven by experts.
As the Finali Mondiali wrapped up, Ferrari fans were given a treat when there was a demonstration of what the F60 could do. With so much going on at this Valencia race, it’s no surprise that thousands of fans came to see the power of Ferrari on the road where it sparkles with vigour: the racing track.
