In 1997 a Ferrari F355 completed a round the world taking in all five continents. The car was driven by 147 different journalists from the various countries it crossed and each one left his signature on the car's bodywork.
1997 was also Ferrari's 50th anniversary and the World Tour, as it was known, was staged to tell the world how very much alive and successful the company was and also to demonstrate the reliability of a model that would prove of huge stategic importance in Ferrari's development. The adventure proved an extraordinary success with the F355 leaving New York on 18 March and returning there to finish the tour after 75 days, quite literally, on the road.
It now gives Ferrari great pleasure to announce the launch of another similar adventure. This time, however, two 612 Scagliettis will leave Shanghai on 29 August 2005 for a grand tour of China driven by Chinese and international journalists. No other constructor has ever undertaken such a daunting task.
The route covers an enormous range of very different terrains and challenges. The cars will endure extremes of cold and heat, incredibly tough road conditions and environmental obstacles of all kinds. [...]
Thats from the site. Go to news and then to Day 1 (on site 16).
edit:
I hope this is the answer on your question. If not, sorry for that.
