Lauded Italian sportscar marque, Ferrari, found a creative way to gear up for this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed with a very special breakfast delivery for event founder, Lord March. This year’s Festival of Speed (June 23-26) the Prancing Horse will give the new Ferrari 488 Spider its UK debut, however on this occasion it was the Ferrari California T Handling Speciale tasked to deliver Lord March his ‘Full Throttle’ breakfast.
Driven by Mauro Calo – holder of a Guinness World Record for drifting – the California T Handling Speciale powered, slid and scythed its way through the famous Goodwood Estate to collect the components for Lord March’s breakfast.
The breakfast ingredients – sausages, eggs and bacon – were collected at speed from the estate’s farm shop then cooked at the Motor Circuit cafe, after which a copy of the Racing Post was handed over by a jockey at the Racecourse before the final delivery was made to Lord March at Goodwood House.
The California T Handling Speciale will be one of several new cars being showcased by Ferrari at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Alongside it in the Michelin Supercar Paddock will be the 488 Spider, which will be seen driven in anger for the first time in the UK. Other cars in the Supercar Paddock will include the F12tdf, 488 GT3 and 458 MM Speciale, along the Scuderia Ferrari, who will be celebrating its motorsport and Formula 1 heritage.
