1-2-3 for the first full week of September

This week is completely according to the motto "70 Anni Ferrari". The celebrations will be held next weekend in Maranello. Most Ferraristi we talked to seem to be puzzled, as the Factory plans to celebrate with a handpicked selection of customers. Nothing that brings back the glorious ambience of the 60th anniversary celebrations. We noted it already earlier this year: Ferrari's customer care and marketing has changed, probably not to any Ferraristi's benefit.

RM/Sotheby's will hold the accompaning Legenda e Passione-Auction, that we will cover in advance.

Before that RM/Sotheby's has their London sale on Wednesday and Coys' has the Auction Thoroughbred & Vintage at Fontwell House on Thursday.

Bonhams will round up auction activities with a double sale: the Goodwood Revival sale (Saturday) and the Chantilly Sale (Sunday).

This sure means that this upcoming weekend it is time for Chantilly Arts & Elegance in France and the Goodwood Revival in Great Britain.

The only two race events will be represented by the DMV Gran Turismo Touring Cup at Zolder and the Championnat de France FFSA GT at Magny-Cours.
