The year 2024 is fast approaching. The entire Ferrari Palau Bordeaux team would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your loyalty, trust and good humour!
The year 2023 has been rich in events and emotions. Firstly, with the preparation of the new Formula 1 season in January, followed by the discovery of the new Ferrari single-seater: the SF-23. February saw the launch of our meetings, notably with the cocktail party at the start of the year, but also the Jumping International de Bordeaux, where we witnessed some of the finest show jumping. In March, our first circuit outing of the year brought together our Ferraristes, real drivers who also tried their hand at karting.
The start of spring was marked by a new feature: the Purosangue's conspicuous, if stealthy, visit to the dealership. The arrival of fine weather was punctuated by rides among enthusiasts: as far as Arcachon and off Le Ferret, then as far as Cannes for some of our customers lucky enough to take part in the Tour Auto. The summer period was just as busy. On the one hand, thanks to an event to which we always respond: Les 500 Ferrari contre le cancer, and secondly, the return of Ferrari to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with a fine victory that we were lucky enough to witness in the company of our customers, at our dealership.
At the start of the new school year, we left our old premises and inaugurated our new dealership. This new showcase, comprising two pavilions - one for pre-owned vehicles, the other for new vehicles - and an area exclusively reserved for customers, is preceded by a structure combining a mechanical workshop and an area dedicated to vehicle preparation, with a total surface area of 5,500m². An extraordinary new dealership that over 450 Ferrarists had the chance to discover in the autumn.
Finally, the Brazilian Grand Prix brought us together for the twentieth round of the F1 world championship at a cocktail party: a race that didn't end well for our team, but the relaxed, friendly atmosphere at the end of the day was enough to soothe our customers' disappointment.
We ended the season with a lunch at the workshop. Our guests were able to chat with our technicians and find out about work in progress, such as the complete restoration of a Testarossa.
Your dealer Jean-Charles Palau and his team wish you all the best.
We look forward to seeing you in 2024, with new products, more events, more tests and more surprises!
