Red Day tomorow Donnington

[croxsons]

Ok, I am new, and not a Ferrari owner, but is anyone going tomorrow or are you all following Owners Club suggestions to boycott?

I work with a fantastic operations manager with the surname of Rowland. A bit of a ferrari nut, owning four from memory, inluding a rather fine Dino. Anyone know of him?

The way i see it is that the See Red day used to be about the Italian car, Hence See Red With other smaller events on the day as a side show. NOW its the side shows that have become the main event and the Italian cars are now the side show tucked up in the corner over there some were. And the price of the tickets are now a complete rip of and they want us to still take our cars as part of the show?? Na mate i have been to See Red from day one because its only 10 mins from me. But things have changed there so its a no from me And from what i have read there will be quite a few of us not bothering. I have not got the rundown as to why the FOC is boycotting the event though. Anybody know why??

I am not sure if this is connected but there are several organisations/forum etc that are forming a backlash against Ferrari's win at all cost approach to F1 in particular the recent court cases which frankly reeks of pointless mud slinging. Here we are with a fantastic new English talent in one of the best seasons in years, decades even and Ferrari seem to want to win only via the court room.

If I remember rightly, the FOC wanted to boycott because they have privelged parking at one of the corners?

Organisers said "no" this time, meaning that everyone would have to park with joe public.

Your right about Ferrari and F1 though ... couldnt agree more.
