    Here is a hint. The symbol doesn't pertain to Ferrari the car company, rather, Enzo Ferrari's life.

    Ironically enough, the internet is where our host for this trivia game got a picture (and the information thereof) os his last question... :) Click here for Wikipedia's information (and municipal coat of arms picture) on the city of Forli...

    When I started this thread, I thought it would get shot down. I have never started a thread before that went any further than 2 pages! I see that there is wealth of Ferrari knowlege affiliated with F-chat, and with the number of views(2,000+) I think that a official test would be most succesful. However, It would have to be done in stages(Levels 1-3 with 1 being the easiest) so that it doesn't discourage anyone from not participating. I would probably stumble through most of level 1, based upon what I have seen here! Anyway, I hope to see a test option on here soon. Perhaps the proceeds can go towards a big F-chat convention! Thanks for the feedback!

    Bingo! And yes, I got the picture off of Wikipedia, although I knew his mother was from Forli.

    NNO - 2 points
    vur - 2 points
    Darkhorse575 - 1 point

    Round 11 (submitted by FarmerDave)...What man joined Ferrari's team in 1959 and made improvements to the bodywork of the Formula cars? Who did he work for before joining Ferrari?

    Carrozzeria Fantuzzi / Medardo Fantuzzi became Ferrari's bodybuilder of choice for all the Ferrari sports cars and monopostos starting with the 1959 season.

    He had previously done the same work for Maserati, but after 1958 Maserati no longer had a factory race team.

    See Ferrari Market Letter Vol. 25 No. 2, the 29 January 2000 issue for the history of Ferrari by Fantuzzi.

    Close, especially since they were founded in 1949, but not the same date. Very good guess.
