Galleria Ferrari, the official Ferrari museum, is offering a once in a lifetime opportunity to car aficionados. The 200,000th visitor of 2007 to the Galleria in Maranello, Italy will receive a scarlet ticket, which entitles the winner and their guest to spend the day at the factory and have lunch at the famous Ristorante Cavallino. After lunch the winners will get to take a few laps at the Fiorano test track with one of the factory test drivers.

We're not surprised that attendance is booming at the Galleria Ferrari, because we've heard great things about the exhibit celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Italian sports car manufacturer. Many of the firm's iconic sports cars are currently on display, as well as posters, photographs and prizes from throughout Ferrari's history. Auto enthusiasts are sure to have a special experience, whether they win the contest or not.

If we were visiting Northern Italy in the next few weeks, we'd be sure to visit the museum and the Ristorante Cavallino. Founder Enzo Ferrari would eat at Ristorante Cavallino on a daily basis, and currently the landmark eatery contains a collection of helmets of former and current Ferrari F-1 drivers. You can be sure to see a stream of Ferraris pass by as you enjoy your meal. The Galleria and restaurant are located down the block from the current Ferrari factory.

Built in 1988 and inaugurated in February of 1990, The Galleria is open every day from 9:30am to 6:00pm with the exception of Christmas and New Years Eve. Tickets are priced at 12euros per, and can be purchased directly from the museum. For more information on the Galleria Ferrari check out their website at.
