Inside Ferrari’s ULTIMATE Restoration Workshop

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In a quiet corner of the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy, a small, dedicated team document the past and offers classics a future. This is Ferrari’s Classiche department - and it’s where the world’s most expensive cars come when they need a spruce up.
But it’s only a relatively recent development, as under founder Enzo, Ferrari was a race team first, always focused on what’s next, not what’s past.
It was only in 2004 that CEO Jean Todt spotted the value in the back catalogue and realised that if others were restoring and rebuilding Ferraris, the firm itself should have a stake in that. The Classiche (that second one is a hard C) unit got going two years later.
Two decades on, we’ve been for a poke around, to see just how diverse and adept Classiche has become. Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, is your guide…

    what you're witnessing is how an an introvert and extravert interact, but moreso your complaint is about an extravert who is already hyped up and "in their zone", interacting with people. they thrive on energy, they often want to be or think they are the focus of attention, and therefor they often talk at the same time as someone else because in their moment they are just as important. refined social awareness skills would calm that down a little, but its hard for extraverts to do so given the nature of their persona. the other guy is definitely an introvert so he is more 'taking it in turns' to speak, speaking when it is necessary for him to do so, and nothing more.

Both with and without the wing, it’s stats for the season, the Spanish GP was a dnf result for a fuel pump. Ferrari’s historical attention to detail is part of what makes this brand so special and their story so amazing. Thank You for sharing this, very cool.👍💯

    Ferrari as an entire brand and company might just be the undisputed masters of pure swag.

    It takes time to edit things, you know. And they have _LOTS_ of videos (and editing) to do. Also, it's called "scheduling". If they immediately edited and uploaded everything ASAP after it was filmed, then if some unforeseen event prevented them from continuing, there would be a gap in their content for however long the hold up lasted. Also, having a reserve of videos allows all the people involved in making this content to take breaks as they need them (flexible schedules for time off) so that they don't get burnt out or forced to chose between work and a serious family/life event. I know it's easy to forget, but don't be so greedy about how quickly and how often you get provided with this free, high quality content. There are real people, each with their own lives on the other side of the screen who need more than just some supportive comments written about their work on the internet in order to survive and lead fulfilling enough lives to be able to keep producing content of this quality.
