Ferrari is just another word for history, heritage, and respect in the world of Motorsports. The Italian Empire spreads its wings far and wide beyond F1, encircling every format of the sport. However, it is shocking that Enzo Ferrari laid the foundations of this mammoth entity seated inside a tiny house in the town of Fiorano.

The legacy of Enzo Ferrari has lived through the times. The vision he had would be clear by the cars he would manufacture. His cars meant victory and to date, that vision and that tag of victory stand unfettered. Agreed, the Prancing Horse struggles through a rough time in F1, but they will soon recover, just as they promised.

It is the dream of every F1 fanatic to have a taste of that legacy and be amidst that heritage. Therefore, Ferrari had a provision made especially for fans to relive the time of Enzo Ferrari. However, the emotions so overwhelming that it is usually difficult for fans to hold back the tears.

“It is the house where Enzo Ferrari had his office there. When you are entering, you see the office and they left the office like it was. Like a very special area that they kept like it was when he was there working.

“I see many people, in all my time with Ferrari, entering that house and couldn’t stop crying.

“Even people with money. They are paying you to go to Fiorano to drive his old Ferrari or so to drive his Formula 1 Ferrari,” he continued.

“I see many people crying, they couldn’t stop crying because it was so special.”
