There's definitely something happening at the Silverstone Classic with ref to the F40 25th anniversary. No doubt there will be other events too.

Hi there,

There going to have to go some to beat the 43 cars that were at Silverstone in 2007 for the 20th Anniversary.











Great news about the 599XX programme coming to Silverstone in September. Will definitely be at this one.

That is incredible!
If it does go ahead this year I am soo there. Going on the amount of F40 I have seen in the past 3-4 years, (even just this year) I think it can be beaten.

Fantastic pics of the icon ! I'm also wondering if there will be a charity ride event too where fans will be able to have a ride in an F40 and donate to charity ?? Would be a very popular event and raise a lot !!

Never forget my first F40 ride...

Hi there,

FXX meet was part of the Ferrari Racing Days Festival in June 2007.
As well as the FXX meet there was rounds of the Ferrari Challenge series, Historic racing and also the F1 Cliente demonstration.

As far as I know the FXX series is not running anymore and has been replaced by the 599XX series which has a UK round this year at Silverstone over the weekend of the 14/15/16th September.

Confused : why do you ask a question that has already been answered twice in this thread ?

Silverstone classic is the weekend I'm getting married. Bugger! I'm getting married on the Friday and if I can push the honeymoon departure to the Monday I'm going to have to go on the Sunday, especially if there is something happening for the F40's 25th.

I haven't heard they're stopping the FXX (although they may be) but there were several on track with the 599 XXs at Mugello in November for the World Finals. The 599 XX 2012 calendar (mentioning Silverstone) is on the Ferrari website but not for FXX so it isn't entirely clear yet.

A quick video I took in the pits when the classics were starting up on that day - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgP7BUpLwpQ

It was awesome seeing so many F40's parked up that day. I lost count of the amount of insane metal on display. Everything from a 250 gto to a F50. Even saw some non F cars including a Veyron, a few Lambos and a Slr.

It is a while away yet, and might be a bit of a trek but the charity Day at the Jenny Wren Inn in Susworth could be the place for your ride. It's organised by a PH member with the username Kenyon iirc. I was lucky enough to get a ride in an F40 a few years ago and loved every second of it. A rare moment to get so close to a car which was on my wall in poster form when I was younger.

Managed a ride in one once, just amazing. Proper boooooost!
