Record number of Ferrari’s break record at Silverstone (VIDEO ADDED )
Record number of Ferrari’s break record at Silverstone
Posted on Monday 11 June 2007
This amazing scene was taken yesterday as the largest number of Ferraris to ever gather in one place came together with officials from the Guinness Book of Records on hand to confirm the achievement. The event celebrating the 60th anniversary of the legendary marque saw no less than 385 Ferraris filling the Silverstone race track.
The site was chosen because of its historical significance for the prancing horse brand. The British track was the site of the first Ferrari win in the F1 World Championship when Froilan Gonzalez won at the wheel of a Ferrari 375 race car on July 14th 1951.
The day also saw a record number of F40s turn-up, with exactly 40 Ferrari F40s making an appearance. An ultra-rare FXX supercar also starred at the show, a car with only 29 models in existence plus a special one for Michael Schumacher.

Ferrari gets in Guinness with record 385 cars at Silverstone
Posted Jun 11th 2007 5:04PM by John Neff
Ferrari finally got its wish and set the Guinness World Record for the Largest Parade of Ferrari Cars. It wasn't easy, requiring 385 cars to drive a distance of at least two miles with each car being no farther than two car lengths apart. The process for Guinness World Record certification also dictated that a representative be on hand to verify the attempt, as well as count the total number of cars at the beginning and end of the parade lap. Ferrari estimates that over Ł60 million worth of Italian automotive exotica was on the Silverstone Circuit at once, including everything from a 250 California Spyder to a 250GTO to F40s, F50s, Enzos and ultra-rare FXX. The record attempt honors Ferrari's 60th Anniversary, as well as the 40th Anniversary of the Ferrari Owners Club of Great Britain, the latter of which provided most of the cars for the record-breaking lap of Silverstone.
The event was also one of the final stops on the Ferrari 60 Relay, which will end on June 23rd when the convoy rolls into Maranello after schlepping the 60th Anniversary Relay Baton all the way around the world.
