When Ferrari->ke252 North Europe began their campaign to reclaim the world record for a parade of Ferrari cars back in June, they set a mark of 1,000 cars to participate in the attempt. Unfortunately, they didn't hit their 1,000-car target. They only had 964 Ferraris. You could hear the collective heart break from across the Atlantic.

All joking aside, the new record is mighty impressive in its own right, not only because they managed to bring 964 Ferraris and assemble all of them on one track, but more so because these owners actually found some time to participate in the record-setting attempt.

Heck, even Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa was on hand with his 458 Italia->ke3479 to partake in the festivities. And if anybody's wondering whether this record attempt was done for self-fulfilling reasons, each driver who participated in the event actually donated £5 donation to BEN, the auto industry’s charity out in England.

Congratulations to Ferrari North Europe for the new record! Here's to hoping that record lasts longer than five minutes!
