LA STAGIONE/THE SEASON Inoltre la configurazione aerodinamica era meno sofisticata, altro aspetto che permetteva di prendere più facilmente confidenza con vetture che, nonostante un intervento sull’elettronica per limitare a quota 17.000 i giri del motore e il cambio con i rapporti fissi per evitare sostituzioni che non porterebbero vantaggi reali, possono raggiungere i 330 km/h sul rettilineo di Monza. Da un approccio graduale, facilitato dal lavoro di personalizzazione pre-consegna che comprende lo studio dell’abitacolo secondo il fisico e la definizione di un assetto di base si arriva al debutto sulla pista di Fiorano, anche grazie ad un servizio di coaching che consente l’avvicinamento alla guida e alle principali caratteristiche della Formula 1 al fianco di piloti di grande esperienza. Ferrari often remains an unrealisable dream even for Formula 1 world champions. And yet this dream has become reality for some fortunate gentleman drivers who, as Ferrari owners, have acquired one of the cars that have made up Ferrari’s racing history. For these collectors of ‘dream cars’, non-competitive events are organised which fit in to other meetings organised every year by Maranello: Ferrari Racing Days and the Finali Mondiali. Such events alternate with other test days dedicated to these special owners. All activities take place on famous circuits, equipped with all the latest safety requirements, which match the modern levels of protection insisted on through the current F1 technical regulations. And just like real Formula 1 drivers, all the owners have to do is turn up at the race track and put on their helmet and overalls. All car maintenance, transport and even the race suits are provided by the “Reparto F1 Clienti” created in 2003 and based at the Scuderia Ferrari factory. The department looks after the cars during the events, but its core activity is the maintenance and restoration of Ferrari cars from 1970 to the present day. Actually, it might be more accurate to say from the past to the day before yesterday, given that cars are only taken on after a two-year delay following their final season of actual competition in order to keep the Scuderia’s technological knowhow under wraps. Thanks to an automated archive that can supply drawings for every part of these single-seaters, the department can get their hands on any car, be it recent or from the distant past. Taking on this task in the role of special consultants, “conscripted again” if you will, are the same mechanics who once attended to Lauda, Alboreto and Prost. The long run of championship wins for Ferrari, dating back to 1999, saw a growth in the number of ownerdrivers. They have also been helped by the fact that these cars are particularly easy to drive, especially those from 2001 and 2002, as the rules allowed for electronic traction control and they had an anti-stall system on the engine. Furthermore the aerodynamic configuration was less sophisticated, which means drivers can be more confident behind the wheel. Even though these cars have their revs electronically limited to 17,000 rpm, and a gearbox with set ratios to avoid changes that would bring no real advantage, they can still hit 330 km/h going down the main straight at Monza. The process takes a gradual approach, with personalized modifications available, including adjusting the cockpit area to suit the size and physique of the driver, as well as using a baseline set-up. After that comes a track debut at Fiorano, thanks also to a coaching service in the company of very experienced drivers that leads to advances in driving and the main requirements for Formula 1. 44 45
