Spanish motorcycle racing champion Jorge Lorenzo recently paid a visit to the Ferrari factory in Maranello to check out the marque’s lineup of cars and production processes, and to discuss racing on both two wheels and four.
The 27-year-old, two-time world champion has 54 championship race wins to his name, including 33 in MotoGP, 17 in the 250 class and 4 in the 125 class. Last December, Lorenzo got behind the wheel of the Kessel Racing Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 as one of four pilots for the Gulf 12 Hours race. “I think it’s the best track I’ve ever been in Abu Dhabi,” he said with regards to Yas Marina in an interview with Ferrari.com. “It’s so modern, and it’s on another level compared to normal tracks. It has been hard because 12 hours is a lot, especially very hot on the inside of the car. But we finished the race, we won our category, especially we had fun. That is the most important.”
This is the second time Lorenzo has spent time at Ferrari, with his first visit consisting of some time in the F1 simulator and on the Fiorano Circuit test track.
Regarding his favorite Ferrari, Lorenzo doesn’t settle for second best: “Ferraris are always magnificent, with models like the F12berlinetta, which manage to combine in an amazing way, elegance and performance, but in my opinion, it’s the LaFerrari that is really something unique."
