Did you ever dream of driving an F1 transport truck? Simply being able to stand next to the world’s greatest drivers, see the fastest machines ever built and learn about the team’s strategies could be any petrolhead’s dream come true. And now it’s possible as the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 motorhome is up for sale.
Ferrari has used this transport units for the last 10 years having constantly updating the vehicle. When fully developed it covers an area of 200 square meters (2,152 square foot) having a length of 7 meters (23 foot). The pare of custom build Ferrari F1 team race trailers were used in all the circuits of Europe until mid-season 2013.
According to Motor Sport Auctions, the vehicles, complete with the original trucks (Iveco Stralis 480 and 540), can be used in pairs (like the F1 teams do) or separately. They rise to a 7-meter (22 foot) height or the equivalent of 2 floors and they can join together.
Each of the two motorhomes can be sold separately. The ground floor of the motor home served as a conference and meeting place area for the media. The upper floor was used by the team’s sponsor and the company’s clients and guests.
When not deployed, they all travel like trucks. Teams usually arrive long before the race weekend and assemble the motor home. In other words, saying you’d afford one, these homes on wheels are the closest thing to the race apart from the F1 cars themselves.
PS: Unfortunately there is no price tag yet, but we’ll let you know once that changes.

F1 motorhomes started in the early 1970s
These special trailers have quite a history and went a long way from the first official model. The first F1 motor home was a crude camper trailer used in the early 1970s. Today the motor homes have obviously evolved a lot, as they are now used as traveling places almost as ingenious in their construction as the racing cars themselves.When not deployed, they all travel like trucks. Teams usually arrive long before the race weekend and assemble the motor home.
