Ferrari Finali Mondiali
Daytona, Florida – Part 2
Part 2
Words by Keith Bluemel
The gathering also featured the inaugural Ferrari Classiche Concours, where around 60 cars were entered for judging, with a number of other examples for display only, together with an array of modern supercars and special edition models on the concours field, including some SP (Special Project) examples. The latter group included the latest example to leave the department, the SP275RW Competizione, chassis # 223542, which is a spectacular F12 based modern homage to the 275 GTB/C Speciale, chassis # 06885, which finished 3rd at Le Mans in 1965. The RW in the model title are the initials of the owner, Dr Rick Workman, who commissioned the project. There were also no less than five of the ten limited edition F60 Americas built present on the show field, together with a splendid array of LaFerraris and a broad selection of classic models. The “Ferrari Classiche Enzo Ferrari Award” for the Best in Show went to the 166 MM Touring Barchetta, chassis # 0006 M, of Brian and Kimberley Ross, whilst Laurence Stroll’s 330 P4, chassis # 0856, won the award for the “Most Historically Significant Ferrari”. All other major awards are shown in the list provided by Ferrari North America at the end of the article.
The dinner on the Saturday evening, hosted by Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne, had a packed programme, as apart from the presentation of the Challenge trophies for the winners of the Trofeo Pirelli, Trofeo Pirelli Am and Coppa Shell regional groups, Europe, North America and Asia Pacific, plus presentation of the concours awards, there was also the world premiere unveiling of the 2017 488 Challenge car. 2017 will also mark the 25th anniversary of the Challenge series, which started with the 348 model in 1992, since when there have been over 1000 races and 1000 drivers taking part. The series started with a kit for owners to convert road cars, but as it has progressed through the subsequent F355, 360, 430 and 458 models the cars have become increasingly more sophisticated and race orientated, whilst still maintain the road car profile, whilst the 488 version will be the first turbocharged model in the series. The evening concluded with a RM Sotheby’s run charity auction, featuring memorabilia and a LaFerrari, donated by Ferrari SpA, which sold for US$7 million in benefit of the earthquake victims in central Italy.
The Sunday activity included the two Finali Mondiali races to decide the world titles in the three classes, Trofeo Pirelli, Trofeo Pirelli Am and Coppa Shell, with the respective titles going to Carlos Kauffmann (Ferrari of Ft. Lauderdale), Sam Smeeth (Stratstone Ferrari) and Thomas Loefflad (StileF Squadra Corse). These races were followed by the traditional demonstration runs by the international series GT contenders in the form of the 488 GTE and 488 GT3 models, preceded by a special run of F333 SPs in recognition of the 1998 Daytona 24 Hour race win, and then the F1 show. In this Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen ran in 2009 F60 F1 cars, giving an impressive high speed demonstration run, including pit stops, and concluding with the traditional rubber burning doughnuts. The remainder of the afternoon entertainment was provided by the XX programme and Corse Clienti participants, bringing a veritable feat of Ferrari activity, both on and off the track to a close.
