    The same experience we had on the casa Ferrari at Pebble Beach.

    As stated before the fairway was open to public (you even didn't have to buy a ticket, it was complete free).

    However the terrace was strictly for invites only. But again as "family members" we were invited by Ferraristi to enjoy the Casa terrace. It was a nice view but walking closer to the cars is much more impressive in my eyes.

    We enjoyed the view and spoke to many (friendly) family members who also attend the festivities at Maranello (as we do to).
    I hope to see many we met this time and many ferraristi more to share the experience.

    Ps
    Many, many and again many thanks to Chris C. to let me sit for a moment in his beautiful 250GTO.
    I know it was a great privelage from him to offer me this seat. I wil never ever forget this and was a great surprise to me.


    The cassa & view:

    Meanwhile the preparations of visiting Maranello are at full throttle here.

    Again Ferrari Spa is not very helpful/slow in providing information.
    To "share" as much as possible I post the program given by RM.

    It does not indicate the activities inside Fiorano.
    The military Academy could be the one in Modena at the Palazzo Ducale.
    Piazza Roma, 15, 41121 Modena MO, Italy.

    If anyone has more info, please post.

    Love that you were able to check it out. We unfortunately got turned away at the door rather abruptly. We were still able to take in the sights at Pebble, but parking was definitely a mess per my previous post.

    I felt more welcomed at McLaren, Lamborghini, and Porsche as a previous owner/prospective than I was as an owner and prospective buyer at Ferrari. Really a shame.

    I heard that a lot from other Ferrari owners and passed that along.

    This was the case at Goodwood to me last year. However remind yourself (and even tell) staff of Ferrari, you are an owner so their job is there because....

    Most of them never even driven one... and they are you telling to leave?!
    I agree Ferrari Spa is mis-treating it's loyal members. But as said before we (=ferraristi) are the ones carrying the brand and can help each other a bit. We are in big numbers, remember that.

    I submit we were very happy to be at the McLaren stand too. Great view and nice people. At this rate going it will be the brand to be with in next couple of years.
    The cars are amazingly quick, look stunning and are at the same price-range.
    Ferrari Spa is noticing this too, this "door policy" does not help...
