 Ferrari 60 Relay

Ferrari 60 Relay


The Ferrari 60th anniversary relay around the world arrived in Europe with the inaugural stage starting from Sintra, near Lisbon, in Portugal on 02 April. Twenty five Ferraris ranging from the factory reconstruction of their first model, a 125 S, through a 250 GT “passo corto” berlinetta, a 250 GT Lusso, a 275 GTB and an Enzo, to modern examples and the current production range, gathered in the forecourt of the National Palace in the centre of this picturesque historic hillside town, to commence the European leg of the tour.

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t picture postcard perfect for the start of the European leg, as leaden skies started to deposit heavy rain as the cars assembled, and continued through most of the morning. Fortunately it ceased just before the handing over of the baton ceremony and the passage of the cars through the tour arch. The predominantly red snake then wound its way through the narrow cobbled streets to head for a tour around Lisbon and then to lunch at the splendid isolated coastal Hotel e Restaurante do Guincho near Cascais, where a F1 car greeted them in the central lobby area. From here the relay will criss-cross Europe, before arriving in Maranello for the anniversary celebrations between 21 – 24 June.
