    Hi everybody,
    This week I bring you a report about a track day in Dijon, France, dedicated to sick children who were invited to take place in the car, and to raise funds as well. The Club Ferrari France did very well by bringing no less than 2 599XX and 4 599 GTO, among 50 other Ferrari.

    You are welcome to discover the whole report with HD pics here

    Nicolas- Great photos and looks like a really nice event for the children, a well as the owners and spectators. That is a large group of very expensive 599s.

    Nicolas- Never thought we would see that day, did we? The GTO is definitely an attention-getter and the FXXs are one notch up from them.

    Wow... the matte grey XX is just pure sex.

    Are there any vendors producing a 599 XX body kit that could be fitted to the GTB? Or would that be considered too ricey?

    Thanks for the pictures.

    Nicolas, superb pictures as always. Thanks so much for sharing. Thumbs up to FDF for organising such a great event, giving these children a day to remember forever.

    Great mix of cars and of course, 4 GTO's, 2 599 XX and Enzo's present, ... the cherries on the cake.

    Would have loved to see pics from Peter's XX and GTO sitting side by side. Maybe next time.

    Cheers,

    M

    Un très grand BRAVO pour ce reportage! And thank you for the wonderful pictures of so many cars.

    We were all very proud of the success of this day and to be able to put our passion to work at putting smiles on those that life has not smiled upon is a great privilege.

    Just so you know, Nello Cheli is also a Board member of the Club Ferrari France and a very active participant. What he accomplished with the help of Philippe and all of us, was simply remarkable

    You also discuss the disappearance of the wheel donuts on certain XXs. This is not because they do not work, but because they tend to break. My XX still has all it's donuts!!

    Merci encore et j'espère vous retrouver au Vigeant.

    Thank You Peter, glad you appreciated it, that was indeed a very good day for everyone.

    Thank you also for this information about the donuts. I noticed at the Nürburgring that you were one of the last to use the donuts. After all, XX are for experience so some problems can be expected and solved later.

    I won't be able to make it to the Vigeant unfortunatly. Do you know if there will be some XX there?

    Anyway, I hope to be at Spa in september for the XX session.

    Best regards
