Despite the
sub-zero temperature almost five thousand people thronged to the
Ice Karting arena at Madonna di Campiglio to take in an exhibition
including Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello, Luca Badoer, Loris
Capirossi and Carlos Checa.
The organisers
of Wroom, the traditional Ferrari meeting dedicated to the specialist
press on the snow at Campiglio, is now in its 15th year. This year,
the spectators were lucky enough to see the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro
stars line up against the Ducati Marlboro Team. After a few warm
up laps the F1 and Moto GP champions put on a breathtaking show,
concluding the 20 lap event with a joint finish, a conclusion that
both the Wroom organisers and the competitors had deemed suitable.
The
race was dedicated to the tsunami hit populations of South East
Asia and the funds collected will be donated to the Fondazione Terres
des Hommes in Italy.
