Ferrari did file charge!  
  The FIA first denied it, but now they admit that Ferrari was the one who, after the Hungarian GP, filed charge against Michelin. Ferrari got their hands on photographes in which you could see that the front Michelin tyre was 16 mm widther after the race. Ferrari is very frustrated by the aditude of Michelin. Technicol directeur Ross Brawn said: "We don't know how long the teams with Michelins drive with the illigal tyres. But we are very annoid by it. We are considering to appeal the points that those teams acquired. This story is to be continued...

Want something special?  
  Are you searching for a nice 308GT4 in racetrim, or a F40 with just 1.600 kms runned? Or want something special like a 250 GT TDF (chassis no. 1335GT) for 575.000 English Pounds?? Or what about the car on the picture...the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Competizione LM Daytona...well you have found them. They are all for sale (and many more...) at DK Engineering! Very nice indeed!  
 
Ralf crashed and in hospital  
  Ralf Schumacher has just been transfered to a hospital in Milano. After a serious crash, in the Lesmo corner, he was checked at the medical centre at Monza. His brother Micheal went with him to the San Rafaele Hospital.

UPDATE
Ralf has, against the advice of the medics, left the hospital. The doctors would rather have him in for an extra night for more tests. The advice they gave him was to optain rest for at least one week. It's not sure if he shall appear at the start of the GP of Monza this sunday.

Testing with three drivers at Monza  
  With at nice temperature of 21 degrees Celcius (44F) three drivers of the Scuderia Ferrari tested at Monza. Michael Schumacher drove 30 laps, Luca Badoer 45 and Felipe Massa 64. Schumacher set the best time on the day, in 1.22.524. Massa's personal best was 1.22.744 and Badoer did a 1.23.153.  
 
Didn't know that...  
  Just read an interesting story on FerrariClub.com about the Ferrari's of Miami Vice. As you might know the first 'Ferrari' in the show was a Daytona, for Sonny Crockett. Ofcourse this was a look-alike replica. It was built using a 1980 Corvett chassis, with Ferrari-designed body panels and real Ferrari hardware inside.
But by the start of the thrid season there were some people at Ferrari that thought that the 'fake' Daytona took to much attention. So, Ferrari North America offered to provide two real Ferraris for Miami Vice, and they chose the Testarossa.
At first is was a black version, but were repainted white for better contrast in the night. There was also a stunt car, created by the Roberts Motor Co. by beefing up a 1972 DeTomaso Pantera chassis with Testarossa body parts.

More people in a Ferrari?  
  What if? What if you have a big family and love Ferrari. What if you want to marry and your parent want to drive in your car...your Ferrari. Then you have a problem. Ofcourse most Ferraris are two-seaters and the 2+2 Ferraris aren't exactly perfect for 4 adults. So, what to do? Buy another car?? No, way must they thought at 'Elegance'. Just make a stretched Ferrari. Enough room for 6, or even 8 people!

308GT4 Section on ForzaRossa.nl  
  Just made a start with a new item on ForzaRossa.nl. The 308GT4 section. This will be the start for more car specialized topics. There is now not much to see at the 308GT4 page, but more wil folow soon!  
 
Eh...where is the rest?  
  Eh? What's this...a mondial who's been hit by a big chainsaw?? Nope.
This car is 1/2 a Ferrari Mondial. Story is that a telcom company had used it for an exhibit at a trade show, maybe COMDEX. It was auctioned off on eBay and around October of 2000 someone in the Seattle area bought it and was going to restore it to a complete car. Seen on: cars.desertworld.com
 
 
Try to chase a F 50 GT...  
  What an awsome video...that sound...WOW...What I'm talking about? Well, I just saw a videofile (wmf) about a Ferrari 355 chasing a F 50 GT...increadable. Ofcourse it's already an older car...and the video (you can buy it on DVD...just follow the link) has been made in december 2002, but still, it made you shiffer!! The videofiles can be downloaded at FerrariChat.com but they are a bit big (12 and 14 Mb).
