On Sunday 14th August, the Jardine team travelled
to Brands Hatch for the 2022 Festival Italia Event. Brining both the Italian
cars and weather, the team prepared for a truly magnificent day at the track!
Accompanied by clients, members clubs and Ferrari enthusiasts from across the
country, the team were set for a fun day of celebrating all things Italian
automotive!
Our Mobile Showroom
Located next to the Brabham Straight of the iconic Brands
Hatch Track, our mobile showroom displayed a stunning selection of prancing horses.
From new cars such as the 296GTB, Roma and SF90 Stradale to the Classiche Dino,
we were thrilled to show a variety of cars and celebrate the rich history of
our brand with guests. On display too, was our 488 Challenge Race Car which
certainly put a smile on a lot of faces when started up! Our two Official
Ferrari Trucks were also displayed at either side of our mobile showroom, with
one featuring a very special Formula 1 replica.
Our Safety Car
Our stunning Ferrari Roma, designed with Official Ferrari
Service and safety car livery took to the track, ensuring the safety of all
drivers on the day! With a flashing light bar and professional driver at the
wheel, many were excited to see our Roma at the front of the grid.
The Racing
The Ferrari Owners Club returned to the track, giving us an
adrenaline-fueled series of Ferrari Formula Classic races. The race featured a
wide range of classic racing Ferrari’s, from 308’s and 328GTB’s of the 70’s and
80’s to modern classics such as the 355 and 550 Maranello of the 90’s. Wheel-to-wheel
racing around the tight corners of Brands Hatch supplied entertainment to the
14,000 fans who came to watch!
The event also provided a historic Formula One demonstration,
featuring Michael Schumacher’s very own Benneton Formula 1 car. With a range of
V8 and V12 engines screaming round the track, it was impossible to not become
transfixed on the display; a true highlight for the racing enthusiasts!
Our Guest Display
Guests of Jardine and members of the Ferrari Owners Club took
part in the biggest display of cars on the day with hundreds of prancing horses
being parked up, glistening in the sunshine. It was a true pleasure to see so
many different models being put on show together.
The team here are Jardine Ferrari would like to thank
everyone who came and took part in this event. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting
those of you who came to visit our mobile showroom and car display.
