    I went to Casa Ferrari in that converted gas station a few years ago. And in more recent years wasn't there that mini Pebble Beach like-golf course next to the real Pebble beach course where they displayed 50 or so cars? At that one, they were kind enough to let anybody see the cars without paying but you weren't allowed in the building that overlooked it unless you had paid some (high) price to get an official ticket. So now I wonder for 2019 is it the same? What will their presence at Pebble Beach be compared to the Quail Motorsports Gathering?I shouldthink Ferrari hs to step hup each year to a bigger expenditure because McLaren came out of nowhere and is siphoning off customers plus Porsche and Mercedes with the more expensive models.

    Ah, that "mini Pebble Beach like-golf course next to the real Pebble beach course" was in fact the fairway for the first hole of Pebble Beach Golf Course...not some mini course.

    There was zero Ferrari corporate presence at Quail last year; just owners bringing their personal Ferraris.

    As for Casa Ferrari, it sure looks like that converted gas station was too egalitarian for elitist Ferrari. My fanatical tifosi friend still talks about being allowed to test drive a 488; a car he could never hope to afford. They built a lot of good will. I expect though that the exclusive Ferrari fortress at Pebble Beach better fits their business objectives.

    I heard, somewhere, they will be back at the gas station this year. They have been running test drives from there for at least 4 years now but I think the green at Pebble was a 2 year contract. Not sure if they will be back there or not but it was quite nice...food and wine galore. Cheers!

    As I remember it, I think on that golf course show anyone can walk out and view the Ferraris on display but it's forbidden for these casual spectaors to enter the outoor fenced in patio area to catch a snack or a drink--that's only for those formally admitted to Casa Ferrari through the front door. How much is Ferrari charging for this privilege and who's running it--Ferrari PR in the U.S.?

    Last year it was $900 or so to get in the house...if you could get a ticket. Food was great, etc.

    I know the rebellious youth inside me would say "badges--I don't need any stinkin' badges" but how do they tell those who've paid to get into that soiree from random passers-by which be me)

    Image Unavailable, Please Login Pretty darn exclusive I only knew it was happening when we cruised by on our $10.50 17 Mile Drive and saw the Marquee.

    “Nothing happening here keep moving”

    Nice FChat drive though.
