Amore Per La Rosso Auto
From 10 years of passion for the Cavallino Rampante comes Rosso Auto. Explore photographer Damian Blades' history with Ferrari. The people he has met, the events, culture and of course, cars!
10 Years in The Making
"Going back to 2008 I came across a Ferrari F40 heading towards a local Ferrari specialist. With curiosity getting the better of me, I followed the white rabbit straight down that rabbit hole and into the world of Ferrari. 10 years later the brand has made a massive impact on my life. At the age of 34 I still have a long life ahead of me to experience Maranello's finest but I wanted to capture my experience so far and share to many what is a closed off world and how a chance encounter
sculpted my career."
What is
Rosso Auto?
Rosso Auto or The Red Car, is a coffee table style book that shares photographer and author, Damian Blades' history with Ferrari. A passionate, non-owner, it covers his time with the brand and features cars from Road & Race, events, exhibits, meetings, culture and Maranello, laced with anecdotes about his experiences. This book is not designed to be factually correct but more as a talking point, the inspiration to go out and follow the cavallino rampante.
What To Expect?
Rosso Auto is not just another historical book with someone's interpretation nor is it a coffee table book filled with lovely photos. Instead Rosso Auto is the bridged gap between them both. You will see in photos and accompanying text Damian Blades' history with Ferrari. All images and text in Rosso Auto were taken by and are true to Damian's experience which makes this book unique.
Not Just
History
Ferrari has a rich history that spans Enzo’s early years as a driver to becoming race principle for Alfa and then the Scuderia before his death in the 80’s. Rosso Auto features history from il Commendatore life and legacy from locations that are important to the history of Ferrari and Tipo’s which cemented them into annals of time.
Not Just
Culture
Unlike most brands, Ferrari has developed a culture which owners and fans can become a part of. Whether it be race days for F1 or Le Mans, dining at one of their restaurants or dressing to impress whilst visiting a museo, there are many ways for you to join in with the Scuderia.
Not Just
Events
From track days to concours, there are multiple events held throughout the year and across the world to feature and celebrate Ferrari. With some being invite only, others being all welcome, these events let you get up close and personal with the brand, the owners and the cars.
Not Just
Red
Welcome to the Atelier where within reason you can have anything you like. Deep dive into some of the craziest options I have seen come through on cars including engines, specialist interiors, coloured carbon, outlandish colours and copious amounts of accessories and paraphernalia.
Not Just
F1
Enzo had been overseeing his race teams since the early days of GP. From the start to now, the transformation of what we call a Formula 1 car has changed dramatically, with every year pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Follow the journey of development.
Not Just
Road
Probably surpassing the race side of Ferrari today, their road going division was only ever seen to help fund Enzo’s racing pursuits. From the early 166 to the latest Purosangue, the road division has become a popular and important part of Ferrari. I wonder what Enzo with make of his stable today?
Not Just
Race
A dream, turned into a business, racing for Enzo’s was his ultimate pursuit. Only developing the road cars to fund his racing, Enzo developed a wide range to win fabled races around the world. From road racing to track. After his death Ferrari kept true to the company vision and until this day still make their mark in racing.
