Marco records another trackday organised by Ferrari at the Ferrari Challenge event at the Imola racetrack. It was such a sunny and nice day that a lot of Ferraris decided to join the event. First i record them parked, but then they start and rev the engines ready to be pulled to the limit into the racetrack.

STEPHEN Retzos had the basic essentials to fulfil most young men’s motoring dreams: the keys to his father’s $250,000 red Ferrari and the green light to take it for a spin.

Unfortunately for the 21-year-old, former Geelong Grammar schoolboy, his dream spun off the road.

Melbourne Magistrates Court heard yesterday that the probationary driver failed to negotiate a sweeping left-hand bend on Batman Avenue about 9pm on May 3 last year.

Retzos lost control of the 2003 360 coupe at an estimated 108 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.
