    Is anyone here going to the event at Road Atlanta this weekend? Right now it looks like good weather on Friday and Sunday but a little iffy on Saturday afternoon.

    If you are going, are you planning on taking your Ferrari (if you have one)?

    I think I'm going on Friday, when the weather will be dry, cool and cloudy. I may not stay the whole day.

    Out of town through Saturday but will try to get up there Sunday for a bit. Seems like a shame to miss it completely!

    On second thought, I think I'll wait until Sunday, if I go at all. I wish the Corse Clienti program had been included in the event.

    Can you park inside the track for this? Thinking about getting up there for a couple hours tomorrow (Sunday) after I get back in town.

    Dude, I ran Atlanta two weekends ago in the 458CH Evo, my second visit there this year. After that it was WGI for two separate events.

    Where are all the Ferrari drivers?

    I was going to do the rally - but when I went down to get the car out - it was pouring rain in Vinings... so went back to bed. Sunday was booked with housework... Frankly - sadly I did not get the invite, and when I asked the dealership the tickets for one day at the hospitality was sold out... and only $1000 for a weekend was available... and I just don't see that at all... it's literally insultingly stupid. It's not FOA these were FNA prices...and it's just not right. I know Lance who won, and would have been nice to see it - but the challenge races are kind of boring... sorry to say it, but that is how I see it. If Clienti and FXX were there maybe it worth the money... but not really.

    Well for my $25 ticket it was fine by me. I could not care less about all the add ons and whatever else you can buy. To actually just watch the race it wasn’t bad.

    Agree with J. For $25 it was fun to walk around and see all the cars. Given the low turnout I was hoping they’d open the Ferrari hospitality to everyone. Seeing all the 296s and the Purosangue was very cool.

    I never heard anything about a rally, and Saturday's weather forecast was too iffy anyway. I got my $25 worth on Sunday though there were obviously far fewer visiting Ferraris than on Saturday. I had lunch from the Sonny's trailer and sat with a father and his 4-year-old son who had arrived in a 458.

    Sorry I missed you Jim! We had our DCRA suite open in the very Red tower. Lots of friends visiting mostly Saturday with the morning rally. Overall a well done event, and super that Lance won P1, pole and fastest lap for the home team! We had two members driving Club Challenge at their home track with very good experiences, and overall (5) drivers under Ferrari of Atlanta's banner.

    Agree with Tom, the Corsa Client and FXX programs cars add another level of excitement and fan draw. Let's hope they circle back in another year or two since it was 2020 when they were here last.
