Ferrari and the FCA forge a path toward the future Article By Al DeLauro Photo By Eric Hawley The revitalization of the Ferrari Club of America, begun last year, reached another milestone in the form of a new link in our relationship with Ferrari S.p.A. and Ferrari North America. On behalf of the leadership team of the FCA, I am pleased to announce that on March 7, 2010 the Board of Directors of the Ferrari Club of America voted to accept an invitation from Ferrari S.p.A. to join their International Council of Ferrari Clubs. The agreement signed at the FCA annual board meeting caps a multi-year negotiation which will see the FCA enjoy a closer relationship with the factory, its North American organization, and other major Ferrari Owners Clubs around the world. Additionally, we were able to resolve long standing differences regarding the use of Ferrari’s trademarks, and in a most positive manner. This agreement marks a milestone in the Club’s 48 year history. Highlights of the agreement include FCA’s gradual adoption of a North American version of Ferrari’s World Club logo to eventually replace our traditional logo. As well, the agreement resolves a number of previous ambiguities about the use of Ferrari’s and FCA’s respective trademarks, paving the way for greater cooperation and mutual benefit going forward. Since recognized by Enzo Ferrari himself in 1964, the FCA has generally enjoyed a mutually supportive and productive relationship with Ferrari, both in Italy and in North America. This synergy grows stronger now with our agreement resolving differences, enriching our working relationship and furthering Ferrari’s efforts to protect its intellectual property. As the FCA prepares to enter its second half century, this mutually supportive relationship between the FCA and the factory will assist our ongoing comprehensive program to update and modernize the look, feel, and nature of our Club.
