FERRARI DAYS 2008
HUNGARORING
Enzo Ferrari´s legend

The magic of the present-day Ferrari is based on its sport inheritance

"There were more people in space than those who piloted fomula 1", once David Coulthart pronounced.
2 members of CGDF were allowed to try the F1 racing track with two Ferrari cars that have been lent for briliant "racing connection" of beauty and speed of Ferrari and Greyhounds.

Ferrari Days and Greyhounds Day - significatively parallel names of racing days of two Racing-phenomenons.
This time it was a holiday of all Ferrari engines - races of monoposts from F1 in the Ferrari Course Clienti cathegory, Ferrari veterans, Ferrari Challenge cars, various models of Ferrari cars belonging to various owners from the whole Europe.

One friday night Ferrari Scaglietti 612 and Ferrari F 430 - Exclusively for Greyhounds that we already know from Czech Greyhound Track Praskacka, shot off with their pilots heading to Hungaroring.

The magic of the present-day Ferrari is based on its sport inheritance.
"The legendary Ezo Ferrari and his long history goes for the charisma of the red racing team. If Ferrari would end in F1, millions of people would stop watching the races because they would loose their idol" - Niki Lauda says.
 The deputies of CGDF are having the taste of the magic that can even a single Ferrari spread.
People around are smiling and smiling. And all this legendary Enzo Ferrari caused.

Cameras and mobiles were taking pictures wherever the vehicles appeared.  It is not the first time that the deputies of CGDF are meeting such behavior, but they haven’t got used to it yet.
For example in Malostranské square in Prague a father and his little son stepped into the way and asked for stopping for a moment so that the son´s mother could take a photo of them.
Luckily the Ferrari crew was driving slowly so that it was easy to decelerate.

It is often uneasy to spot a Ferrari at the parking lot because of crowds of people surrounding the car and the crew has to go through the crowd. Some people say that sometimes it takes a long time before the crew takes courage to step into the car. Sometimes it happens that people beg for taking a photo of themselves, the driver and the car as well of course.

When driving via Budapest at the peak time people from both traffic lines were jumping from their cars and were taking tons of pictures. Some people feared that the traffic line, in which Ferraris were driving, will speed up so that they wouldn´t be able to take front-end pictures. So they were waving and begging the Ferrari drivers to slow down or stop for a while.
People around were enthused about seeing even two Ferrari at a time by own eyeballs. They again were smiling and waving.

Road-menders took their time and were taking a lot of pictures at the place of motorway exit enclosure which was not implemented to GPS yet. until they took enough pictures they adviced to the crew which slip-road was open.

Police stopped from the procession just the two Ferraris. They checked the papers and revealed that they know there was Ferrari days in Hungary because many dutch, german, danish or whatever Ferraris went there already. By the mean time they could observe both Ferraris at rest. This happened again on the way back too.

Accomodation in Polus spa hotel - with heated inner pool - connected with the outside one, behind the complex there is a grassy and sandy beach, little ponds, fountains, lights - simply romantics costing some money.

Proper dining stylish dishes, services, equipment, perfect cleanliness, excellent services provided by the attendants in faultless uniforms, dreamy atmospehere of used materials - which have, as we all know, their own energy - deserved relaxation after the ride.

Two person apartment with two bedrooms, a large kitchen and a dining room, with a bathroom as big as an ordinary living room, it covers the area of a common family house.
One member of the Swiss crew later noted it was "scary" to go the toilet" in the dark. One didn
t know which way to go back and which doors enter - easy to get lost.

Fun, fun but it is said that it was very pleasant. A bath,a shower and even a sauna int the bathroom. Also "tons" of towels, blankets soaps, gels, oils, shampoos - you name it.

Comfort, luxury,  profusion. How else.
