    Does anyone know how many times to F50 GT has been to Canada? At the FCA meeting in Toronto (June of 1998) an F50 GT was there. (was chassis #001 or #003).
    Here is a picture that ''hps'' (f-chat member) has took from that event.

    Since then...did the F50 GT ever returned to Canada?
    Ontario? Quebec? Vancouver?

    WOW! Thats crazy that it was in Toronto! It has to be #003 becuase #001 dosen't have the Ferrari of San Francisco banner on the windsheild.

    Does anyone know if there are any other regular F50's in Canada?

    No I'v just checked and this F50 GT is chassis # 001.
    It belongs to Art Zafiropoulo and he got his car in 1997.

    (see... it has the Ferrari of San Francisco banner but we all know the banner is not there anymore in 2004)

    As for chassis #003....Jim Spiro only got it in 1999 so thats another reason why 003 was not the car that was at the event. (event was in 1998)

    Indeed its 001.
    At first I wasn't sure but after learning that 001 was made in 1997 and 002 in 1998 ,we know for sure its 001. This event was in 1998 and 003 was bought from the factory in 1999, so its impossible its 003.
    And 002 is in Japan since day 1.

    Wasn't 001 crashed a couple of times? I heard that it was out at Laguna Seca and although coming out of one of the corners, the driver lost control and wrecked. Apparently the tub was damaged and due to a previous court injunction, no tubs were readily available to repair the damage.

    Am I correct? If not, would anybody clarify?

    First one was at Sears Point and it was driven by a professional driver. ( the car was wrecked very badly so it went to Italy for repairs). The second one was at Laguna Seca, the car went into the wall (the damage was pretty minor)
