Group Drive down to Laguna Seca for Ferrari Challenge May 18, 19

Greetings,

I'm planning to drive to Laguna Seca's challenge on Saturday, May 18th. We've met at Silicon Valley Ferrari in Redwood City in the past. I'm unsure about their plans, but ISSIMI in San Carlos is another possibility if that doesn't work.

Just giving folks a heads-up to contact me if you are interested in participating.

 

Sounds like fun! I’ve been looking forward to seeing the XX/F1 Clienti cars again since I last saw them in 2019. I’m going to have 2 kids with me so I won’t be able to legally throw them both in the passenger seat (even if they fit and would probably enjoy the heck out of it) but I will reach out if my plans change and there is a chance to drive my fcar. Any idea roughly what time you’re thinking of starting the drive?

Best,
Karl

 

Hey Paul - sounds like fun. I’d be interested.

 

Awesome! I’ll reach out as we get closer. I miss those drives down, something magical driving with a fleet of Ferrari on PCH (getting the chills right now.).

Forza

P.S. all makes welcome, I had a pleasure to be behind a Pagani last time we went to Laguna. I can watch those 4 flaps and wings actuate all day long….

 

I'd be interested too.

 

I am hoping to travel to Laguna Seca that weekend. Most likely traveling Saturday. Would love to meet any of you.

 

Thanks everyone! I left a message with Jason, but have not heard back, gives me an excuse to stop by the dealership.

 

Hi folks,

I just got back from talking to Chris and Jason. It sounds like the good old days of FOG drives from the dealership are a no-go. It makes sense that after they have the full package deal—for safety and liability—it's good to keep it tidy.
That said, I'm still thinking of doing a group drive. I will reach out to Charlie Miles at ISSIMI; that might be a route we can follow.

More info on that soon.

 

Ferrari SV just sent out an email inviting owners to participate:

What is the plan for parking? They aren't selling paved parking online for the event and I haven't gotten around to calling them. I'm not so sure about parking in the dirt lot.

 

ETA?

 

It’s about 100 miles so I would assume 10am arrival.

 

In all past instances, I’ve been sent to the Ferrari coral, but could be different this time around.

 

We always arrive around 10, do you folks want earlier? Works for me!

 

That’s about right!

 

It’s quite likely I will have an extra Saturday General Admission and Paddock Preferred parking pass if anyone attending is in need.

 

price?

 

I’ll give it away for free to anyone driving down Saturday. Works the whole weekend. Only cost $25.
