LA STAGIONE/THE SEASON In only its second year and after a successful competition debut, Ferrari had established very close ties with its owners, to the extent that it led in time to the formation of its own department, based at the Fiorano Track, with the aim of getting owners out on track to exploit their passion for racing. The idea of establishing an organisation to coordinate all customer racing activities was the natural consequence of the company getting back on top in Formula 1, winning world titles, as well as the Maranello marque’s GT cars stamping their authority on some of the most prestigious sports car races. It also seemed natural therefore to base the department alongside the famous “house with the red windows” where Enzo Ferrari had his office, as this was a perfect match for the spirit that would guide the work carried out inside. The people working here have a great passion for their work and they are determined to help owners enjoy the excitement of the race track. Among a series of activities aimed at the needs of owners who wanted to race, in 1993, this special department established the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli championship, run with cars prepared and managed in-house, thus ensuring technical parity and identical performance, for both professional and amateur racers. Following on from this, the next idea was for non-competitive activity using old Formula 1 cars whose racing career was over. Later came the ambitious FXX and 599XX Programmes aimed at research and development, bearing the name of the eponymous prototypes. The efforts of the owners of these cars made a real contribution to the growth of the marque, as did competitors in international GT series who could rely on the technical support of this department. 4 5
