Baltimore Grand Prix....continued....


When it comes to awesome automobiles, the Ferrari with it's charisma of sleek Italian design and engineering has long been a favorite of mine.  (Anyone remember Tom Seleck and his Red Ferrari 308 GTS in the 1980's TV show Magnum PI?) I saw the crew opening their truck and then lowering the gate to bring the Ferrari down to ground level in the morning before the practice runs. I just had to watch and snap a few shots. The team pushed it to the prepared space where all the tools, diagnostics and interlocking red rubber flooring had been set up.  I was once again impressed with the total self contained operation of these crews, right down to their own special fuel reserves.
and there was time for a little levity before the competition started.......


Not sure if this set of wheels actually belonged to team Ferrari but when I reviewed my images they seemed to fit with the color scheme of this post.                    



























Practice run.....
The "Food and Party" tents had been set up and all the tents proudly displayed team colors.
