Membership
Membership of the Ferrari Owners' Club is open to anyone who either owns or has owned a Ferrari. The membership year runs from 1st November to 31st October and if you join part way through the membership year you will receive all back-issues of the Club's publications produced during that year. Members can register their spouses to share their membership.

The Club is international in concept, with members in 36 different countries. It has something to offer all its members, whether their interests lie in competition, the realisation of the performance built into their cars, excellence in presentation, socialising or simply enjoying the Club's magazines and website.

The Club is administered by a Board of Directors and a Committee of Management, who are only too happy to offer help to any members seeking information or advice.

The Prancing Horse Register
In 1976 a separate "club" within the general orbit of the Ferrari Owners' Club was formed for enthusiasts of the marque Ferrari who do not own one themselves. This is called the Prancing Horse Register and is run by the Club's Secretariat. Membership benefits include the opportunity to attend many Ferrari events, to assist in running those events, to subscribe to the Club's publications and to purchase and display the insignias and logos of the Prancing Horse Register.

Events
The Club organises a great variety of events each year. The social side of these is important in that members attending events can meet others with whom they share a major interest, thereby enhancing their enjoyment of the Club and ownership of their Ferrari. Including all the local area meetings, there are in excess of 100 events on the calendar.

Track Days
These allow you to drive your Ferrari on circuits such as Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Oulton Park . These are occasions when you can enjoy the freedom of driving without speed restrictions and can appreciate the levels of performance that are available from your car and can, as a result, be both a better and safer driver in normal everyday motoring. Instructors are on hand to guide and advise and calm your nerves!

Club Competitions
The Ferrari Owners' Club GB is unique amongst its peers in organising exclusive events for members who wish to compete in Ferraris.

• The Pirelli Ferrari Open
  The Pirelli Ferrari Open has twelve races for standard 355 Challenge cars and modified Ferraris up to and including the 355 tipo.

• Pirelli Ferrari formula classic
  This is another consists of thirteen individual races for any basically road-going Ferrari built prior to 1990 i.e. up to and including the tipo 328, but excluding turbo-charged cars like the 288GTO and F40.

• Hillclimbs and Sprints
  The Pirelli Ferrari Hillclimb Championship takes place over fifteen rounds and is intended for standard road-going Ferraris. There is a handicap points system ("Performance Equaliser Percentage") which allows the various tipos to compete with each other on a level basis.

National Meet and Concours
This major annual event has attracted more than 400 Ferraris old and new, and is usually held in the grounds of a fine country house. An event guaranteed to be enjoyed by all the family, in a true garden party atmosphere.

Social Occasions
Special gala dinners take place on the evenings before the Annual General Meeting in April and the National Meet and Concours in the summer. The AGM is followed by a special luncheon and prizegiving of many fine trophies which tell the history of the Club and its members over the years. Other dinners round off the end of each season for the racing and hillclimb championships. Special lunches at track days provide an informal meeting place for enthusiasts, circuit drivers and their guests. Christmas functions are held in various Area Group locations.

Invitations
Invitations are received from the major motoring festivals and motor sport events in the UK and world-wide, as well as motor shows national and local, dealers' own track days, other car clubs' events, including major historic gatherings, the overseas Ferrari Clubs and European tours and events where Ferraris take part such as the Tour de France and the Mille Miglia.

Area Groups
There are a number of regional groups of Club members who get together on a regular basis and organise their own local events. Look for the Area News section in Ferrari News and on the website for details of their activities and to find out where you can contact the various organisers.

Dealership Scheme
For the buyers of a new Ferrari who have not previously been members of the Ferrari Owners' Club, the Club operates a scheme of complimentary membership from time of purchase to the end of that membership year. If you are such a first time purchaser please consult your dealer for further action.
