964 Ferraris gathered at Silverstone at the weekend to set the world record for the largest gathering of Ferrari cars ever.

The existing record of 490 cars was set at Japan's Fuji Speedway circuit in 2008.

Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa was the guest of honour at the event, leading the parade in a 458 Spider. "It was a really unforgettable experience," said Massa. "It's a great honour for me to be here for such a special event, with so many cars all brought together on one race track, which produced an unprecedented spectacle for all Prancing Horse fans."

Organised by Ferrari with the help of the British Ferrari Owners Club, the event was in aid of the motor industry charity BEN and Ferrari donated £5 for every car in attendance.
