So steeped in legend and myth, it is hard to believe that Ferrari is just 60 years old this year. To celebrate, the famed sports car company is organizing a relay race – complete with symbolic baton – across five continents, 50 countries, and 148 days. Culminating at the factory at Maranello, the event ends off with Ferrari assembling its 60 most important innovations, including the electronic locking differential and revolutionary F1 gearbox. They will also be organizing their first concours d'élégance, complete with events at the track, at the factory, and at the Galleria Ferrari in Maranello.
Along the way, each participating country will dedicate an object representative of their local culture and traditions, which will then be exhibited at the Farnesina Palace in Rome before being auctioned off for charity. For posterity, a historical book will be published alongside a collection of pictures and data of all the cars built by the company.
