Ferrari enthusiasts were left disappointed as three Ferraris crashed out on the first day of the Italian rally, which comes with a hefty $46,000 entry fee. The 2024 Cavalcade Venice Tour commenced on June 30 with 125 modern supercars, but the excitement was short-lived as three of them had to bow out due to a fire and two crashes.
The event, spanning 758 miles across Italy, is exclusively for modern Ferraris like the 296 GTB, LaFerrari, and 812 Superfast. However, as the day progressed, it became evident that not all participants would make it to the finish line on day one.
One of the most significant incidents involved a Ferrari 296 that caught fire while on the road, leaving a lasting impact on the vehicle. Photos shared on social media showed a fire crew attempting to extinguish the flames before the car was engulfed entirely.
Another Ferrari, covered and appearing to have lost parts after hitting a wall, hinted at the challenging conditions of the rally. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported among those involved in the crashes, providing a silver lining to the unfortunate turn of events.
Despite the setbacks, the rally continues with the remaining participants, but the dropout rate on the first day raises concerns about the fate of the other Ferraris in the event. With an entry fee of $46,000, the stakes are high for these supercar owners as they navigate the Italian landscape in their prestigious vehicles.
