John Bosch in 575 GTC |
|
| |
The 39 year old Dutchmen John Bosch has been infected by the Ferrari virus for a long time. He not only owns several Formula one Ferraris, including the 2000 version of Michael Schumacher, he also drives them on the circuit.
He was also, last year, the European champion in the 360 Challenge.
And, together with another Dutch legend, Jan Lammers, he entered the 'Le Mans' serie with a Dome Judd (for Racing For Holland).
But John always wanted to race for Ferrari. And now he does! With his team, Barron Conner Racing, he will enter the 'Le Mans'-serie with two 575 GTCs. He will drive together with the American, and ex Indy 500 champion and Formula one winner, Danny Sullivan. For the second car he still searches for drivers.
The 'shakedown' of the cars will be on 19 and 22 Decembre at Fiorano. The debut of the team will be during the 12 Hours of Sebring on the 20th of March.
Other races they will compete in are the 1000 km of Monza (May 9), Nürenburgring (June 11), Silverstone (15 August), Spa (12 Septembre). And ofcourse...the 24 Hours of Le Mans! |

Recently the highest salaries of famous sportsmen were published in several newspapers. Michael Schumacher came on the second place, just behind Golfplayer Tiger Woods. According to the newspapers Schumacher gets 50 milion dollar each year.
Very famous already but still nice to pay some extra attention too...isn't this wonderful done? A working, WOODEN, F50 (boat... :) I think it's fantastic! 
Auch...this must hurt...much. First you take all kind of lovely pictures of your car...okay it's no Ferrari...but it's not bad eighter. Then you get out for a drive, get to a corner...and...CRASH!!! 
Got an email...yesterday...it said: 'you like strange colorcombinations on Ferraris don't you? Then just check the FerrariChat'. Well I did...and I liked it :) A white 360 Stradale. Spotted in Germany. Tnx to Dino208GT4 and EuropeanFerrariRental. 
Whenever I see a tread at a forum about the Sultan of Brunei I always look...and search. Search for new pics of his large and rare Ferrari collection. At FerrariChat I saw this picture, posted by Joop van der Meer, a blue (I repeat BLUE) Mythos!!! Isn't that amazing? I just remember seeing the Mythos once...at a carshow in The Netherlands...I found it stunning...sent a letter to Pininfarina and said that I loved the car so much...
The Ferrari F2003-GA, with Michael Schumacher as driver, couldn't beat the Eurofigher jet. The plane, that could reach a highspeed of twice the speed of sound (in the air) was over the first 600 metres the slowest, but after 900 and 1200 metres could the pilot Maurizio Cheli overtake the Ferrari and was the first to cross the finishline at the Italian airport Grosetto.
Then you own one of the most beautiful cars ever made...a Ferrari 456, but why, I ask WHY, do you want it in this color???? Forrest Green???? Horrible! 
Again two days of testing at Jerez in Spain for the Ferrari team. At December 3rd the Ferraris were not as quick as last week. All three testdrivers came in action...L. Badoer was the fastest Ferrari (1.18.830) which was good for the 5th place. He drove 75 laps. F. Massa (1.19.074) was 6th and drove 63 laps. L. Burti drove 42 laps and became 8th (1.19.554). Ralf Schumacher was the fastest...1.17.705.
Is this a new prototype for a 4 doors Ferrari? Or is it just a fake? I really don't know...just found the pictures on the web. Anyone more information about it? Seems like they are scanned out some kind of magazine...Please add a comment if you know more about this car! :)
