    Try http://www.ferrariclubofamerica.org. This is the main site for America.

    Our site is http://www.fca-sc.org. It is a great group to join, with lots of good events throughout the year.

    From being a member of FCA, I had the once in a lifetime opertunity to drive the F1 track at Indy, at speed. Summit Point this year, and next year will be Watkins Glenn. These are all national meets and include road tours, great speakers, dinners, friendship, and concours.

    In September we will be at Road Atlanta in Atlanta Georgia USA for a FNA corral, and the ALMS Petit Le Mans. Come join us to see the F430, DB9, Spyker, Corvettes, and Panos run with the Audi Diesel R10 and Porsche RS Spyder. It should be fun...

    I am unsure if there is a world wide Italian car club, or anything like this in Latin America. If not, perhaps it begins with you.

    Our local FCA has a core group of leaders who organize a variety of events; weekend coffee meets, long and short group drives, monthly social dinners, car shows, F1 viewing parties, holiday party, charity support and track days.

    Essentially something for everyone. The 10% discount on parts and labor from the local Ferrari dealer is a nice touch too.

    Yes. The 10% discount at the dealer more than covers the dues. Plus we go on the Fall Foliage Tour each year.

    FCA Empire region. The club is only as good as the person running it and we are lucky. Our chapter President Steve has done an outstanding job of putting together meets and events.

    Sunday Morning Drives - 2 hour drive to a lunch spot

    Happy Hours - different place each week

    Lunch GTG

    Go Cart Nights

    Movie Nights

    Monthly Dinners

    Having an online forum to discuss upcoming events always helps too.

    I would ask the Ferrari owners that you are targeting for membership, what THEY would be interested in attending.

    GL , you will find it's ALOT of work, but you may gain alot of friends along the way!

    Steve

    p.s. You should register for our upcoming event in October and come see what the FCA-DFW Chapter has been doing: Ferrari Club of America - DFW ? Ferrari Club of America DFW Chapter

    We started an Exotics/Sports car club. Not specific to Ferraris, but any enthusiast is welcome. We even started a Facebook page for it.

    It's grown to 57 members in about 2 months.

    I am a member of the FCA, but I have since yet to participate in any events with them.

    Only because I live 2000 km away from the rest of the members in my state.

    One day I will move down there to live, so I will enjoy it then.

    Hard to be a member of a Ferrari club when the closest Ferrari is over 350 miles away. If I was closer I definitely would be a member, and also be part of the owners forum.

    Of course - member of the advisory board of the Ferrari Club Austria.
    we have about 250 members - a lot for that small country!

    Ferrari accepts only one official club per country.
