Ferrari Makes History In Guinness World Record
Ferrari has been hoping for a long time now that they would be able to make history in the Guinness World Record for the largest parade of Ferrari vehicles. After 385 cars driving two miles with each vehilce being no more then two car lengths apart, Ferrari was able to complete that goal.
The process for Guinness World Record certification also dictated that a representative be on hand to verify the attempt, as well as count the total number of cars at the beginning and end of the parade lap. Ferrari estimates that over £60 million worth of Italian automotive exotica was on the Silverstone Circuit at once, including everything from a 250 California Spyder to a 250GTO to F40s, F50s, Enzos and ultra-rare FXX.
The record attempt honors Ferrari’s 60th Anniversary, as well as the 40th Anniversary of the Ferrari Owners Club of Great Britain, the latter of which provided most of the cars for the record-breaking lap of Silverstone. The event was also one of the final stops on the Ferrari 60 Relay, which will end on June 23rd when the convoy rolls into Maranello after schlepping the 60th Anniversary Relay Baton all the way around the world.
