| 10 | Feature 1951 British Grand PrixThe first of a long seriesSince his coming into the world of Grand Prix motor racing as a manufacturer at the end of the 1948 season, Enzo Ferrari found again in his path his former employer Alfa Romeo. This first confrontation was not to his advantage, but the absence in the next year of the manufacturer with the four-leaf closer emblem allowed him to glean hist first successes in Formula One.

| 24 | Feature Ferrari 612 Can-AmOh, what might have been. Of all the potential threats to McLaren's Can-Am domination, Ferrari could have been among the fiercest. Indeed, at certain magic moments during 969, this particular Prancing Horse looked to be a true challenger to the all-conquering M8Bs. Pete Lyons, Chris Amon, Robert Dusek Peter Harholdt, Pete Lyons |
| 32 | Feature Prince Bertil's Ferrari SpecialeThe Power and the Privilege, the Royal Blue 0853 GTThe order for this new coupe was placed with Paul Vallée and Charles Pozzi through their company, Autoval, in Paris, France, by Bertil Gustaf Oskar Carl Eugén, the Duke of Halland, better known to the world as His Royal Highness, Prince Bertil of Sweden.

| 42 | Corse Unknown gremlins bedevil our teamFormula OneAs now seems to be normal practice, with each new season comes new regulations. The reintroduction of KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), together with a driver operated adjustable rear wing (DRS), are the two main regulation changes, but there is also another factor, a new tire supplier in the form of Pirelli. Keith Bluemel Paolo D'Alessio |
| 43 | Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT's make their debut on two continentsLe Mans SeriesA strong entry for the first round of the LMS at the Paul Ricard circuit in the South of France included four Ferrari 458 Italia GTs in the new GTE-PRO class, and four Ferrari F430 GTs and GTCs in the GTE-AM class.

| 46 | Corse Older GT Ferrari takes one class at SebringAmerican Le Mans SeriesSeven Ferrari competed in the 2011's Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, in two new classes - GTE (AM) which requires that only one driver can be professional while the other two (or three) are non-professional, or in other words, talented amateurs or "gentlemen racers", to use a term from the old days. David H. Brady |
| 50 | Notizie 275s & Dino 246s become the Ferraris of choice at the Tour AutoEach year in April, Peter Auto invites the participants of the entire world to discover the charms of France, during the revival of the famous event.

| 51 | Notizie Amelia Island Concours d'EleganceIt only grows larger, year after year - there's no stopping it - now or forever, but that's a good thing. It's the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, ensconced at the Ritz-Carlton on the Atlantic Ocean. Even as the economy takes its toll on other multi-marque events, this behemoth continues to expand - over 275 automobiles on hand, all special, all unique, all worth seeing. Keith Bluemel |
