    That follow-up question about the reinforced FXX-K roof being different to LaFerrari shows genuine interest. Together with your past experience driving these cars, it makes for a great content!

    These is where you understand why Ferrari is FERRARI.
    No other names have the history, pedigree, heritage, level of dedication and passion. Since 1939 till this day.
    Even just trough the video you can smell the blood of racing and hear these machines screaming in your head.
    Just look at the people working on these machines. All of them have and are involved in world top class racing in many, many racing categories.
    By far the best garage tour iv seen in my life. Just look at 19:24 classic modern f1 masterpiece cars being worked on. Pieces of art that obviously still rip some asphalt from time to time just waw.
    Thank you Ben for giving such a complete and amazing look at (probably) the most significant and memorable car brand in the world.
    Abolute legend, you and Ferrari.
    As simply said at 6:30.
    Ben: "Insanity is baked into it?!"
    Chief mechanic: "YESS"

Thank you Ferrari and your team to bring us this inside look. Super awesome! 👏 👍

    3:14 That #44 499P is soo pretty, I just realized that the owner is the same owner from Dallas Texas as #44 FXX-K which I have as a die cast model. The colors always reminded me of the Lotus Black and Gold livery. The Lewis Hamilton connection is just so fortuitous 😊😊

      Small error in an otherwise beautiful explanation of the fxx program. The USA Challenge schedule for 2025 has been posted.
      It opens on February 25 - 26 at Laguna Seca. Quite often the FXX program shares the weekend with the Challenge. The Challenge races are open to the public.

    That front electrical drive train, just a tip, try setting the computer up to lode up the front system to drive out of low speed corners 60/40 grip then have the computer flip the drive to rear wheel in a straight line and so on . 50/50 mid apex etc. Link the G meter and fly by wire steering censor to the power split computer algorithm.

    Always wondered how they came up with the FXX program. Didn't know they sold their winning cars, so it makes sense they'd start a program for people who wanted to learn to drive them. You should check out their driver training program and see if you can still keep up with the young kids. I know they train almost as hard as Olympians.
