Ferrarijevih 60
Post je skopiran z uradne strani 60.obletnice Ferrarija, zato je tudi v angleščini. Slike so pa moj izbor ;). Posti so skrajšani, celotno zgodbo, če koga zanima, pa si lahko prebere na zgoraj napisanem linku.
Ustanovitelj: Enzo Ferrari, 1929 (po smrti svojega sina Dina(24), je Enzo nosil očala vsak dan, naslednjih 32 let, do svoje smrti, kot znak časti do svojega sina)
Tovarna: Maranello, Italija
Prepoznavni znak: poskočni konjiček (Cavallino Rampante). Znak temelji na znaku, ki ga je uporabljal Francesco Baracca, slaven pilot v prvi svetovni vojni. Baracca naj bi simbol videl na letalu nemškega pilota iz Stuttgarta, ki ga je sestrelil. Brat Enza Ferrarija, Alfredino, je bil je bil član Baraccovih mehanikov. Ferrarijevi dirkalniki z motorji V6 so tudi znani pod imenom Dino v čast Ferrarijevega sina, ki je umrl v starosti 24 let.
Baraccova mati je omenjeni znak podarila Enzu Ferrariju po smrti svojega sin. Enzo ga je vključil v znak svojega dirkaškega moštva, pri tem pa je še dodal barve italijanske zastave, rdečo belo in zeleno, ter črki S in F (Scuderia Ferrari). "Rampante" je italijanska beseda, ki pomeni žival s štirimi nogami, ki se postavi na sprednje noge - kot lev ob napadu. Je simbol krepkosti, vitalnosti in moči.
Barva Ferrarija: Rosso Corsa (po naše: dirkalna rdeča)
Zgodovina:
1940s
1947 was the year in which a Ferrari car first triumphed in competition. The car in question was the 125 S and was driven by Franco Cortese in the GP of Rome. The race was disputed on the city circuit situated at the Terme di Caracalla. A year later came the first Prancing Horse barchetta, the celebrated 166 MM. The vehicle triumphed a year later, 1949, in the 24 Hour of Le Mans in what was the first in a long series of Ferrari wins.
1947 - The First Victory
The 125 S - the S standing for Sport - was the first car that was completely planned and built by the Scuderia Ferrari, which in that period was situated in Via Trento e Trieste in Modena. The car left the plant in December 1945 to make its first appearance...

1949 - The First Success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
1950's
The 50s marked the start of Ferrari's adventure in the newly created Formula 1 championship. Ferrari, it should be remembered, has always appeared in every race (the only team in the world to have done so). These were the years in which Alberto Ascari claimed his first unforgettable world title. Also starring were Fangio and Hawthorn. This was perhaps the decade of the great road races, events in which Ferrari and its Sport vehicles claimed victories in the Mille Miglia and the famous Carrera Panamericana.

1960's
As well as the triumphs in Formula 1, in which Hill and Surtees took world titles at the start of the decade, the Prancing Horse also fared well in the Mondo Sport series. The championship includes highlights like the one-two-three finish in the 24 Hour of Daytona and the Bandini-Vaccarella crew claiming the final Targa Florio. Legendary Gran Turismo models were produced in this era, among them the GTO - winner of three consecutive International GT Constructors' titles.

1970's
The 1970s was an important decade as it marked the appearance of the first 12 cylinder, rear-engined roadgoing car. The model in question was the 365 GT4 BB. This was followed a few years later by another famous berlinetta designed by Pininfarina: the 512 BB. This vehicles was also powered by a V12, this time featuring opposed cylinders. Lauda was in his prime in Formula 1 as he secured two world titles. His title efforts were backed up by his team mate, Regazzoni, and the current president of Ferrari, Luca di Montezemolo, as Sporting Director. Of course one cannot leave out the excellent pairing made up of Schekter-Villeneuve.

1980's
Ferrari's fortunes fluctuated in this decade. Gilles Villeneuve was widely deemed to be worthy of his status as one of the best Formula 1 drivers before he was sadly killed just as he appeared set to be crowned champion. The eighties will especially be recalled for the passing of its founder. At ninety years of age Enzo Ferrari still maintained the reins of the company. His death left a profound sense of emptiness, the depth of which was felt throughout the automobile world.

1990's
The shadow of Ferrari's death resulted in a tough start to this decade for the Prancing Horse. This downward trend was halted with the return of Luca di Montezemolo as president. After many lean years, the nineties saw the Formula 1 world Constructors' title come back to Maranello thanks to the Schumacher-Todt team. The production was able to benefit from new technologies introduced by the management. This brought very successful models such as the 550 Maranello and the F50 supercar.

Od prve zmage Ferrarija mineva letos 60let. V tem času se je Ferrari močno utrdil v prepoznavnosti in zvenečem imenu v svetu motošporta in pri ljubiteljih športnih avtomobilov. Ferrari je še danes sinonim za eleganco in prestiž, ki si ga ne more privoščiti vsak. V svojih 60letih tekmovanj na raznih avtomobilističnih dirkah je osvojil 14 konstruktorskih naslovov (zadnjega 2004), 14x je bil njihov voznik svetovni prvak (zadnji 2004) in imajo 196 zmag (zadnja prejšnjo nedeljo).
Med najbolj znane voznike, ki so kadarkoli vozili Ferrari, sodijo eden izmed najboljših voznikov vseh časov, ki je vzdignil Ferrari iz 16letne suše, Michael Schumacher, Gerhard Berger, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, tragično umrli Gilles Villeneuve in ostali (večina verjetno pozna samo tele). Seveda pa nikakor ne moremo mimo Schumijevega pomočnika Rubensa Barrichella.
Danes "čast" Ferrarija branita Felipe Massa in bivši McLarnov voznik Kimi Räikkönen.
Ne glede na zasedbo, jaz še vedno navijam za Ferrari in še vedno mislim in upam, da se zaostanke da nadoknadit.
