Another quick drive, and we found ourselves in the city of Ferarri, a massive industrial complex, with over 200,000 square meters of production floor, wind testing, racing development, and its own racetrack/testing grounds (Fiorano). We got there and had lunch in the Ferrari cafeteria with employees, and some racing team members getting ready to head to Brazil for the last race of the season. After a proper Italian lunch, we were off to the Ferrari gallery.

Fiorano
Just about to leave, we heard F1 testing over at Fiorano! The track is generally invisible to the public, but there is one small access point where the press usually gathers, so I climbed up on the fence to grab a few pictures, of what turned out to be an FXX....even got a quick video!
