Will never forget the first time I heard a V-10 in person. I was stunned, to put it mildly.

Not sure how many are Ferrari owned and how many are privately owned
To keep the secrets at home and for safety reasons people can buy and drive an obsolete Ferrari F1 car but the owner can't take the car away for a certain number of years and Ferrari Clienti are the only people to maintain them.
Ultimate fly in and drive
Owners tend to blast it on the straights and come in for a change of underpants every couple of laps where a racing driver would be flat out for lap after lap. Easy to tell the difference who was who.
I'm probably the only person to have driven an air cooled Porsche there as inside the factory gates is a Fiat group car brand only zone but the kids Christmas party one year was in a big top tent in the middle of the circuit
It was a 1/2 lap drive to get there from the main gate, family wasn't very pleased with me when I went for it in my 930, the bridge has a tricky off camber exit to it.
They weren't half as livid as the family we drove past stood on the side of the track when the dad went off into one of the gravel traps in their Fiat Punto
