Looks like a good time. I was lucky enough to be be at the World Finals of the Ferrari Challenge at Monza in 2004 as a guest of a sponsor of one of the cars. Hearinging those engines echo through the trees is amazing! There were many vintage F1 and race Ferraris in addition to the Challenge cars on the track, just like the event you were at it looks like. A great way to feel the passion of Ferrari. We used to watch the Challenge cars as a support race for the Canadian GP as well. Thanks for bringing back many memory good memories. The Risi Competizione F430 has been one of my favourite cars for years.

Just the one F1 car, and it went around extremely slow. The historic cars were not there this weekend (not sure why). The FXX cars were fun to watch and were the loudest. I did get to ride a couple of laps in the F430 pace car.

I don't like the the look of the Enzo but those FXXs look like they would have been mean GT1 cars (if they were legal.) Road Atlanta is one of my favourite tracks, you are lucky to have had the ride in the pace car there. I can't wait for Petit.
