ATR also so happens to be the company that collaborates with Ferrari on all carbon -specific R&D for Michael Schumacher's Formula 1 Ferrari team. Naturally, there is extensive technological crossover there, and the close relationship spawned from this is best evidenced in the well-known photographs of Ernesto Colnago and Enzo Ferrari standing arm-in-arm in a Ferrari boardroom, as well as Colnago's presentation of a Ferrari bike to Michael Schumacher.
