    Thrilling Ferrari Festival in Jeddah

    Jeddah 30 November 2023

    The evocative setting of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit was awash with red for the two days of the Ferrari Festival, which, following previous editions held in Riyadh, moved to the venue that hosts the Saudi Arabian Formula 1 Grand Prix.

    A large crowd of fans and enthusiasts of the Prancing Horse took centre stage over the two days, during which the track played host to Scuderia Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz at the wheel of two SF71Hs, as well as the winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Antonio Giovinazzi, and his teammate Nicklas Nielsen, who starred with the 499P that triumphed in the centenary edition of the great French classic. The cars of the XX Programme and the 488 Challenge Evos were also on display, driven by Lilou Wadoux, Giancarlo Fisichella, Andrea Bertolini and Olivier Beretta. There was no shortage of spectacular burn-outs, sequences of hotlaps for the guests, and a parade for owners of road-going Ferraris.
