    You are right, you can buy at the gate also wich is great. On to the original question, can non Ferrari's park in the paddock??

    I want to also thank all the Ferrari Club members who are helping with this event for all their hard work!! I hope it's huge with a ton of rare Ferrari's on display. 50 years is a long time.

    I know during the Hawk event you can not park in the paddok. But it's also a much bigger event. It would be great to be able to park in the paddock as the different parking are pretty far from each other when you are carrying a ton of photo equipement and a baby :)

    $250 to rent the golf cart for 3 days. That's more expensive than renting a Mustang.

    I hope he brings the Pininfarina King Leopold 375 Plus also. If these both showed up they would stop everyone in their tracks!!

    We'll be bringing one of our full-motion simulators.

    We will have it setup in the Marcato area in the paddock if you want to practice some laps of Road America on a hyper-realistic, laser scanned version of the track.

    Hope to see you guys there!

    Glad to see 0108E again this year. One of my fav at Cavallino. Never seen 0903GT. Will be nice to see it with the other TDF.

    I'll be there on Wednesday. What time to do you guys open?

    I definitely want to try this out but don't want to wait in a long line forever. What's the secret VIP password? ;)

    Just tell them that you are a friend of Chris'.

    Glad to hear you enjoyed the Caddillac Simulators. Those are ours as well. The demo at Road America will be even more advanced.

    We will probably have a few cars to try. We usually play it by ear. If you have a specific request, just ask. If it's not busy, I'm sure the guys would be happy to oblige.

    Oh I loved it. Went during press day and probably spent 2h on that stand alone. It was a work out!

    do you have Ferraris available? I'll definitely stop by. Road America must be quite a challenge!

    The software we will be using for that event doesn't have any Ferrari's, but they do have some very close approximations. You'll enjoy it, trust me :)

    Yep!

    Perhaps a dumb question, but as a spectator "track gate admission" will allow you access (to view) anything happening at the track, racing, paddock, concours, demonstrations etc....???

    But any actvities occuring at the Osthoff will be for FCA members only and or ticketed packages? The receptions, charity auction, etc...??

    Thanks

    Yes and yes

    RA ticket will give you access to the concours, Mercato and watching the cars on the track

    FCA package will get you to participate with your Ferrari plus the rally and the dinners at the Osthoff

    You can of course visit the Osthoff for free. I'm guessing you'll see cars in their garages
