The 1997 Festival had the honour of launching the Chris Rea film
“La Passione”

  This was the well known singers semi autobiography and told the story about one boy’s passion and dreams of being associated with the late racing driver Wolfgang Von Tripps.  

Because no Shark-nosed Ferrari’s remain in existence, Chris Rea commissioned an exact recreation of this type of vehicle using original Ferrari parts………. The result is a truly unique testimonial to both Ferrari and Von Tripps himself.
