I'm not sure what you mean about the 599XX.
They're all costumer cars. I think they're about 25 or 30, something like that.
It's a track only car. You can use it for 599XX dedicated events or whenever you want really, a bit like the FXX, which was the case for this day.
In this case, it's owner flew from the UK and the car came from Maranello with a crew of four factory guys.
Always good to spend a day with factory guys for some insight infos.
It also comes with telemetry materials, very useful to analyse and improve your laptimes.

Thank you Futch
I got my answer. I always thought that 599XX is an experimental project and Ferrari sold 599 GTO to customers and kept the 599XX as an show case.
To have pit crew from the factory must be very special

Francois, our next Rennteam meeting should definitely be close to your home.
Very nice photos, thanks a lot for sharing.
For sure my friend!
Seriously, I will let you know if we organise a special day at the Nurburgring, it is my dream to go there in the same conditions.

With all due respect to all the cars on that track, The 910 is above and beyond
Hats off to you sir for having a true masterpiece
Thank you very much. It is indeed a fabulous car, and a piece of automotive history, although it never quite had the success of the 906 and shortly after came the 908.
And of top of that, its value increases with time. There are only 29 world wide.
This one is chassis 022.
I am a very lucky man.

Futch you are living the dream!
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much for the fantastic photos.
Like many here , your 910 just blew me away. Not only is it a beautiful piece of history; it also takes me back to a time when Porsche was really serious about it's motoracing.
I am so proud to learn that you are a Porsche guy.
Thank you once again.

Staggering!
So glad you posted the extra 910 photos. Its always nice to see (and hear!) Webers on a Porsche race car
Its really quite the endorsement for Porsche engineering that after having spent time in all of those cars, that you could get into a 997 Turbo S and not feel let down in some way.
