THE Ferrari Gallery, close to the team's Maranello base in Italy, has announced a record number of visitors after 157,000 people visited in the year 2000.

The figure is an increase of almost 30,000 people, in comparison to 1999, and is undoubtedly a response to Michael Schumacher's triumph in the Formula One World Championship.
