Ferrari Fifty Years on the Track

About this book

Enzo Ferrari has been a predominant influence in the racing car world over the fifty years of his company's existence. Although he has continuously run Grand Prix (Formula One) cars since 1948, his first cars were little one-and-a-half litre sports-racing cars. From then on, until 1972, Ferrari fielded a great variety of competition cars in international events. These were for both the famed "Scuderia Ferrari" (the factory's own race team) and to sell to Ferrari's private customers. These customers backed up the Scuderia Ferrari and competed in lesser national events and smaller classes. In 1973, Ferrari left this field of racing to his customers, only returning in 1994 with the F333SP. Within the pages of this book, you will find the epic story of Enzo Ferrari's determination to win the title of Sports-Racing Champion year after year. This book also encompasses a chassis-by-chassis description, race and ownership history of every sports and sports-racing Ferrari built with an even chassis number, these being the great cars which Ferrari built for sports-car competition.
