Adventures in Branding
Written: August 9, 2007
Formula One Licensing BV lost its bid to trademark the “F1” designation in Britain. The court ruled that the public recognizes F1 as a form of motor racing, not a brand name. Despite the ruling, the F1 logo remains a protected property of the racing body. Meanwhile, the company has ...
F430 Scuderia Here
Written: August 24, 2007
Ferrari completes its V8 trilogy with the introduction of the F430 Scuderia. The new car is lighter and even more powerful than the F430 coupe and spider it joins and sports technical innovations unique to the F430 series. As such, this bad boy succeeds the 360 Challenge Stradale as the ...
Fast on the Comeback Trail
Written: August 10, 2007
The McLaren drivers may still be at the top of the standings after 10 races, but Scuderia Ferrari’s performance in the last three outings has made believers of us once again. Kimi Räikkönen won in France and England and finished the European Grand Prix at the Nürburgring in third. Teammate ...
Ferrari Challenge Rally
Written: August 1, 2007
This year the Ferrari Challenge Rally comes to the Mid-Atlantic and will travel a breathtaking 750-mile route through five states. Stops will include the venerable Homestead Resort along the Blue Ridge Parkway and Nemacolin Resort in the land of Fallingwater.
The event begins Tuesday, September 4th with ...
GranTurismo, QP in Good Company
Written: August 14, 2007
In last month’s genealogy of the new Maserati GranTurismo, we detailed the development of the A6, the company’s first production road car. Now there is this. At Salon Privé in London last month, Jay Kay took top honors with his knock-down gorgeous black Maserati A6 G54. Upon receiving the Grand ...
Jack Drives a Lambo - A Lot
Written: August 20, 2007
Jack Riddell drives a Lamborghini. A lot. He’s covered a quarter of a million miles in his lovely 400 GT 2+2 over the past 35 years—a long stretch by any standard. On a car so complex and rare, well, that’s either foolhardy or a love amply requited. It doubtless helps ...
Mag Ranks Some F1 Cities Tops
Written: August 22, 2007
If F1 does in fact buoy the reputation of host cities (see RIP USGP?), you wouldn’t know it from Travel+Leisure magazine’s annual rankings. Of these places, only Istanbul made the world’s top-ten list this year, although Barcelona ranks fifth within Europe, and Montreal comes in eight among North American cities. ...
Maserati Poised for 3-peat
Written: August 30, 2007
Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium was host to Round 6 in the FIA GT series late last month. While the grueling 24-hour race went to a Corvette, the Vitaphone Maserati MC12 of Biagi/Bartels/Poele/Lamy finished a close second, helping pad Thomas Biaji’s points lead in the GT1 drivers’ championship. The team car of ...
Stepneygate
Written: August 21, 2007
Ferrari went to court in pursuit of an espionage case that it says involves Nigel Stepney, a race-team member the company accuses of sabotage and characterizes as disgruntled. In the latest twist, Ferrari alleges that Stepney gave team blueprints to Mike Coughlan, technical director at rival McLaren. The documents—780 pages ...
War Changes Everything
Written: August 13, 2007
Amir Hadzimehmedovic wasn’t supposed to be Maserati of Washington’s new sales consultant. In fact, he wasn’t supposed to be in car sales at all, much less living on this side of the Atlantic. What he was supposed to be was away overnight for an business trip 15 years ago. Then ...
