    Hi,
    I'm not that experienced with sim/gaming software development, but really enjoy sim racing. I'm curious to know why such a good sim developer like Reiza does not already have a license with Ferrari. I know this is sometimes down to money, but perhaps I can help. I have a developed relationships with some of the key executives at Ferrari in Maranello, including the F1 team and as a result have assisted Ferrari in Australia with some PR consulting. I have also acted as a talent scout to keep an eye on, and report results of a local talent at the time and reported back to the head of the Ferrari Driver Academy. Ferrari have been very generous to me providing assistance with my charity events here in Australia and also providing me with loan cars. In return, when I asked Stefano Domenicali (Scuderia Ferrari former Team Principal) at the F1 GP in Melbourne how I can thank them, he said and I quote, "Please support the brand where you can" and this is what I do.

    If I can assist to sway Ferrari to be involved, I would be happy to help.
    Not sure who to talk to at Reiza, but please reach out to me if I can. I think it's in Ferrari's best interest.

    Definitely need a Ferrari or two, not to mention a few Lamborghinis in the game! And a Clio lol.

    It would be nice to see the Ferraris in this sim and given Project Cars had them, why not.

    Yup it would be nice. My guess is that either the license cost is prohibitive or Ferrari is not interested (if that's the case, they surely should!).

    Probably worth sending a PM to Renato due the nature of the topic ;)

    Great gesture but the reality remains the same for big businesses. Cash is king, Money talks.

    You do know Stefano was also CEO of Lamborghini :)..... we can settle with that for now:)
    ... For now, I'll keep my dreams in check.

    Best wishes on this.

    It's a great gesture. And from my experience: sometimes it's about the right guy asking something from right staff / board member at the right time. And nobody is saying when it is the right time, so who knows.

    Firstly thank you very much for the help offer - we do have a contact with Ferrari and other licensing prospects, the reason these have not yet been pursued further is that our production capacity is pretty much maxed out already for the coming months from existing deals - once we get through this initial “wave” further deals will be pursued, and if the game continues to grow we hope Ferraris will be on the cards too :)

    Hi Renato,
    I thought that may be the case, but wanted to offer in case. It's great to hear and we all look forward to further development of this incredible sim.
    Congratulations on what has been achieved up until now.

    I'm absolutely sure they would be interested and it looks like it's on the cards.

    That's a beautiful car and although I'm passionate about the Ferrari brand, I would personally hope we see Audi on the sim.

    Ah...Audi, I think they made two cars right?
    (Joking of course, but still. GTO and SWB Quattro. :eek::D)
    All the 'Yes please'.
    Regards Ferrari, so many must haves there!

    And apologies for the somewhat off topic, but if anybody can pull some Opel strings.:D (Secretly hopes for a :whistle: from Renato)
