More than 200 children, who have faced or are facing severe medical conditions, got to ride in their choice of more than 100 exotic cars around the racetrack at the Atlanta Motorsports Park in Dawsonville on Saturday.

The event was part of a charity effort organized by Ferrari of Atlanta, who teamed with CURE Childhood Cancer, Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities and Camp Sunshine.

“So many people just clamor to look at these cars,” said Craig Forbes, general manager at Ferrari of Atlanta. “We saw that, wow, we could put smiles on children’s faces just by allowing them to go for a ride in a car.”
