Celebrating Sixty Years of Ferrari in Australia - This past Saturday in Melbourne, the host city for the 2012 season's inaugural Formula 1 race, Australian spectators were treated to not only a very unpredictable qualifying session but also a variety of other events that aimed to dazzle those who were present in Albert Park.
Highlights included an aerial display from the PC9 aerobatics team known as "The Roulettes" and the third Australian V8 Supercars race of the weekend.
For Ferrari enthusiasts, the day's most eagerly anticipated track action, aside from the Formula 1, was a parade honoring Ferrari's sixtieth anniversary in Australia.
At noon, sixty models from Maranello, one for every year that Ferrari has been in Australia, drove their way around Albert Park. The procession was led by the Ferrari 458 Spider, which made its Australian debut and is predicted to retail at around AU$590,000 when it goes on sale later this year.
Amongst the cars featured were fan favorites such as the 360 Challenge, the Ferrari California and the F40. The country's very first Ferrari, the Ferrari 212 Export Coupe, hit Australian shores in Melbourne all the way back in 1952 and since then, Australia grew to become Ferrari's tenth most important market in 2011.
