Michael on track
The Maserati Trofeo  was  one  of the main attractions on the final day of the Ferrari Racing Days  event,  taking place this weekend at the  Nurburgring  circuit. This  morning, L.Badoer took  the  Trofeo  onto   the Nordschleife  as  a course car to around forty  historic  Maseratis  and  Ferraris,  as  they  ran a  couple  of laps of the “Old” Nurburgring, prior to the Shell Historic  Ferrari-Maserati  Challenge  races.
Michael  then  continued  the  on-track  demonstration,  doing three   laps   with   a  Ferrari  Enzo.   Michael's   day   at  the Nurburgring  ended  with  a  demonstration  at  the  wheel of the F2001, which the German driver used  to  win  his  fourth world  championship  last  year.  After  completing   his   laps, Michael waited on the track, to be part of a group photo with the Enzo and the Trofeo in front of the packed  grandstands.
Michael said  “I  have  been  involved  in  the  development of the  Enzo,  trying   to  bring  some  input  from  my  Formula 1 experience. The car has character and a lot of power.  When  you  hit the  throttle  you  realise what it can do. Driving it on this circuit is incredible, but it is also perfectly adapted  for  normal  road use  on  a  daily  basis.”
