Fastest Man of the Planet Dashes in Ferrari for Dream Drive in Monaco

Being the fastest man in the world surely gives you some privileges. While coursing on the running track might eventually turn to be exhausting, riding a Ferrari is definitely challenging. The extraordinary chance was by Usain Bolt's side who was given a F430 Spider to ride along portions of the F1 circuit in Monte Carlo, Monaco. As he confesses, it was a dream that came true for him.

Bolt happened to be in Monte Carlo for the World Athletics Gala (promoted by the IAAF, the International Association of Athletics Federations) as he is going to receive the "Athlete of the Year award", a truly deserved prize due to his latest sprinting results.

For those who missed the Olympic Games from Beijing. Usain Bolt is is the 100m and 200m Olympic and World Champion, practically the fastest man on the planet. And as if it wasn't enough, the Jamaican has established not one but three world records: 100 m, 200 m, 4X 100 m, all during only one Olympic Competition!

Bolt's road to success started when his country hosted the 2002 IAAF World Junior Championships. The tall 15-year-old won the 200m final in 20.65 seconds . At 15 years and 332 days, Bolt won the title of the youngest-ever male World Junior champion. The man was born to be a record-setter. The tall Jamaican also established records at the World Youth and World Junior Championships for 15-16 age group. He just could not be stopped!

The Ferrari he was given runs from 0 – 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, while Bolt jets from 0 to 100m in 9.69 seconds, world record time. Given such spectacular performances, no wonder such a fast car was given to the fastest man ever... However, we're still waiting to see whether he established another world speed record.
