The ceremony took place this afternoon in Sakhir, in the presence of
Ferrari CEO. Jean Todt and Aldar CEO. Ronald Barrott.
Work on the island has already started and the Ferrari park, which will cover an area of 250,000 square metres will be one of the main attractions.
Jean Todt
"The agreement that has been signed today strengthens our ties with Abu Dhabi which is already one of our shareholders and a sponsor of the Scuderia through the Mubadala company. The park will constitute an amazing opportunity to experience the world of
Ferrari and to appreciate the values that have made the Prancing Horse a unique marque around the world. We are happy to embark on this project with Aldar, a company in the vanguard of its sector of activity which also shares our philosophy of striving for excellence."
Ronald Barrott
"This partnership with
Ferrari will allow Aldar to create an exciting attraction for Abu Dhabi, which will have something for all the family and will also highlight the already close relationship between Ferrari and Aldar. Abu Dhabi is a rapidly expanding market and Formula 1 is an integral part of this commercial growth. Aldar has put a great deal of effort into
Formula 1 with the development in progress on the island of Yas, but our collaboration with Ferrari intensifies this involvement and increases the profile and outreach of our company."
