Ferrari at 24 Heures du Mans | A Lesson In Motorsport At The Museo Ferrari
On 8 February the exhibition first introduced on January, 15th aiming motorsport enthusiasts from all over the globe in the heart of the motor valley has been officially launched. A stone’s throw from the factory and more precisely inside the gates of the Museum in Maranello, we have been able to admire and relive the glorious 70 years in which Ferrari has put its name 36 times in front of everyone in the most important endurance competition of them all: the 24 hours of Le Mans.
Trophies of all kinds on display right next to some of the models that have most represented the important Ferrari steps in car racing, without forgetting authentic masterpieces also intended for road use and the exclusive FXX program. In addition to the Formula 1 cars and the brand new 2020 488 GT3 Evo ready to fight in the next season of the endurance championship, the event has been enriched by the presence of some Scuderia drivers, such as former F1 Giancarlo Fisichella, Toni Vilander and Andrea Bertolini, while among the Institutional figures the President of the Automobile Club d’Ouest Pierre Fillon and the CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) Gérard Neveu, together with Antonello Coletta, Head of the Ferrari Sports Activities division, flanked by the winners of last year’s edition of the 24 hours, Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Daniel Serra.
