Speed limit for Ferrari demonstration

Organisers of the Ferrari festival that will take place in Melbourne next month have been warned that their Formula One demonstration must not exceed 60 km/h.

Following the local controversy that was caused at the last public street demonstration for race cars in the city, where Antonio Pizzonia was estimated to have driven at more than 200 km/h, the local law enforcement community have made it clear they will not tolerate such speeds again.

Melbourne's police assistant commissioner Noel Ashby has said that it is imperative organisers stick to the agreed 60 km/h limit for the scheduled Ferrari F1 deonstration if such events are to take place again.

"I guess it's a matter of future co-operation," Mr Ashby was quoted as saying by The Age newspaper. "These events cannot occur without our support, and if they break the agreement we've struck then we would have to reconsider whether we enter into these agreements in future.
