Ferrari beats the Boy Scouts

Ferrari's Number 5 car won the 2006 Pinewood Derby in Paris from the hands of Cristopher Kulmayer's (in the top photo, center) Boy Scout Number 1 car and from William Saward's Boy Scout 2, by mere inches.

After the race, Ferrari gave away its spare car to Kulmayer and swapped another car to "get their hands on Saward's Maserati". How generous of them.

Come on

do you really think Ferrari would play by the spirit of the regulations

There has got to be a huge amount of engineering time in it, not to mension the CFG analysis and wind tunnel testing it went through

I think the competition is actually hosted in their "energy station"
