At the Silverstone Ferrari Days meeting the Ferrari Owners' Club GB organised an attempt at achieving a new Guinness World record for the most number of Ferraris on track at the same time. There were over 450 in the car park, and 385 of them took to the track to be counted (twice) by the Guinness officials who pronounced themselves satisfied that the old record (136) had been broken.

The hot weather, and the slow pace required by the counters, played havoc with temperatures and clutches, and some of the competition cars found it difficult to go so slow! The FXXs that took part had their engine management systems adjusted for the slow pace but in the end the record was achieved. So now the challenge goes out to other Owners' Clubs - beat that!
