You made a sweeping statement, not me. I have provided numbers that show just how profitable those that merely but tshirts and mugs are to Ferrari. For 2013 that increased to 53 million euros. You haven't been clear at all to support your own statement and I have only asked for clarification. What actual statistics do you have to support your own statement in the following quote: Quote: 'Maybe you think nobody watches GT or endurance, but these gentlemen drivers and private teams who buy Ferrari to participate in those GT races, give a lot more to Ferrari than the tifosis who buy a cap, a scarf or a scale model and thinks they "support" Ferrari!' How much do these private teams and gentleman drivers "support" Ferrari year after year in cars sold etc? So far you have provided mere guesses and nothing more. How many GT cars were sold in 2012 or 2013? That would be very helpful information and if those numbers are high I have no doubt that contribution would surpass the 53 million euros from those that buy a mere cap, scarf or scale model. I have zero desire to be obtuse. I asked for mere clarification as to how you arrived at an opinion I found rather contemptuous to those that can only afford t shirts and not cars.
JANUARY 22, 2018 Monza boss admits Italy GP future in doubt Monza boss Angelo Sticchi Damiani has admitted the future of the Italian grand prix is not secure for the future. After a period of uncertainty, the historic race is firmly on the 2018 calendar. But the boss of the Italian automobile club Aci told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "If conditions do not change we can no longer guarantee the future of the grand prix at Monza. "For the 100 year anniversary in 2022, it's only right that the circuit must be adapted," Sticchi Damiani insisted. He said one major problem is an Italian regulation known as the 'stability law', explaining: "We do not cost the state one euro and we don't ask for anything except that we are not hindered." Like the other 20 race promoters, representatives of Monza attended a key meeting last week with Liberty Media. Sticchi Damiani said: "What I notice is a general suffering. On the part of Liberty it is because a monstrous investment has been made and now there must be a return." "And also (it is true) on the side of the teams, who have even higher costs, and us as organisers who are strangled," he added.
