Big news for Road Atlanta in 2018!

Hey John,

My son lives 4 minutes from the track! Maybe you all could get together for a dig. Two shovels are always better than one.

Just Sayin!

Ciao,
George

 

Sounds good. No sense being subtle about it. I’ll bring the backhoe, official-looking disguises, and keg. Before that over-the-top performance though, I have someone looking in to official access. Crossing fingers

 

Not sure if anyone else saw but I got an email this morning from Road Atlanta with the confirmed 2018 schedule. It shows Ferrari Challenge returning in September.

 

I received word that this is a closed event, open to participants only. the brand is only really exclusive if it operates on a basis of exclusivity. Would have loved to go watch the cars, one of my favorite days was watching the retired F1 cars in Homestead about 10 years ago.

 

The challenge is "open". That is always fun.

Glad it's back.

 

Hey All:
So I have checked with both National FCA and Ferrari North America. The Clienti and FXX days are strictly invite only. restricted to F-1 Clienti and FXX owners and their invited guests. So if you know an owner the best thing is to ask them for a pass. I think Jim P has done that - so hope he'll post some pics.

FOA, has a limited number of invitations as does all NA dealers. those invites are for perspective / Potential Clienti / FXX buyers. Ferrari will vet the invitee to ensure they meet Ferrari's criteria, so its not really up to the dealer. This is a pure Ferrari deal. Its sad that they chose to do it this way, and not allow owners to attend at least one day.

 

Everyone would love to see these cars run, but this is a great way to keep the brand exclusive in my opinion.

 

Called the track just now and spoke to a women about the event. She says it is open to the public with a $20 charge at the gate for admission.

 

You may want to ask her again and let her know you are talki g about this a x not the Mitty

 

Actually called back before I made the post on here to make sure we didn’t confuse the dates for the event.

 

If this is true I will be very very surprised.

I believe you when you say she told you this but I can't help feeling she is just mistaken.

 

I put a post on facebook asking if anyone could confirm if its open or private.

My other question would be why pick Road Atlanta as a test track? I have nothing RATL, I love it and its a wonderful facility. But COTA or another newer track would seem like a better fit. Just my thought.

 

They go to COTA too

 

You gonna be there next weekend, Jim?

 

Stay tuned everyone. I am checking with the factory to verify this. Fingers crossed.

 

According to the factory, there is no open admission. If it were me, I might still try and see what happens but.....

 

I just think the lady answering the phone is unaware of exactly what this event is and is speaking in general terms about admission for the track. There is just no way she knows something the factory doesn't.

 

is there a daily schedule anywhere?

 

This has to be a true Ferrari event because its a total fire drill....... I got this from Road Atlanta Today.

I'd say to those who want to go - show up and see what happens.

ATTENTION TIFOSI: FERRARI F1 and FXX-K CARS ARE COMING TO TOWN! Next Thursday and Friday, March 15th and 16th, dozens of Ferraris, including many F1 and XX Programmes machines, will take over the circuit for a truly magnificent showing of speed, power and the pinnacle of technological advancement. Road Atlanta guests have never gotten the opportunity to see F1 cars lay down lap after lap at Road Atlanta at this magnitude, so this is a rare treat you won't want to miss out on!

Although it won’t be the current F1 stars and cars, fans can hope to see former championship-winning F1 beasts, fan-favorites and more. These glorious Italian machines will take over the 2.54-mile road course at Road Atlanta for two days only, so make sure you’re sitting front and center as they stretch their legs at this historic circuit.

Two-day or single-day tickets can be purchased at the gate for $20.

 

I agree with Tom and am thinking you will get in. Sorry guys.

 

glad I took the day off! It's my birthday! It's my birthday!! (literally!)

 

YEEEAAAHHH!

 

Feeling hopeful
