Greyhounds are able to reach the highest maximum speed and
acceleration from all breeds of hounds. Greyhound races are often
compared to Formula One races. Greyhound fans all over the world
admire speed and beauty of these racing "monoposts".
Perhaps because of such similarity, unique Formula One Ferrari
artifacts were presented at ceremonial greyhound "Oscars" awards, e.g.
correspondence of the founder of the Ferrari brand - Enzo Ferrari,
racing gloves of Michael Schumacher, racing helm of Marc Gené, a
Ferrari F1 test pilot, etc. Also Ferrari owners from the Scuderia
Boys club, a member of the Autoclub of the Czech Republic, came to
congratulate to winning greyhounds.
