Actually, it was a development proposal from Care Racing and Prodrive entered under the Larbre banner, to be run in the GT2 group (the only runner). The car featured a new "long life" version of the regular V-12 engine, which has an electronic power control system that can be set and monitored by the race stewards. |

The expansive area for the Ecurie Francorchamps display was just inside the main entrance to the show, and featured ten Ferrari either raced by, or of the type raced by, the team over the years. |

| 24 | Letteratura | Atmosphere and Light - The Automotive Art of Barry Rowe by Barry Rowe and Gary Doyle Barry Rowe has been painting for many years, and he had built up a great following even before he became very well known to the general automotive public. His work had been straight away successful with that early group of patrons who were exposed to his work, precisely because his paintings were, and are, so immediately compelling. |
| 24 | Letteratura | 12 Hours of Sebring 1970 by Barry E. Hurst Keith Bluemel For Ferrari enthusiasts and historians, this personal photographic memoir is a wonderful trip down memory lane, to the race in which the 512 S sports racing model achieved its greatest glory, the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1970. The race was also remarkable in that is was nearly won by film star cum racing driver Steve McQueen, co-driving with Peter Revson in a three liter Porsche 908/2. |

| 32 | Feature | 410 Sport - the beauty is a beast - s/n 0596 CM Big, noisy, complex, and a complex, and a handful, but the epitome of the Ferrari sports racer. Keith Bluemel, David Seierstad, Alan Boe David C. Wendt, Antoine Prunet, David Seilstad In the mid fifties, Ferrari's main energies in sports car racing were directed towards the four cylinder models, but there were also twelve cylinder models produced, but in relatively small numbers compared to those previously mentioned. One of these was the 410 Sport model, which was only produced in a very small series of four cars with chassis numbers 0592 CM, 0594 CM, 0596 CM and 0598 CM. |
| 42 | Dodici | Twists of Fate The tortuous tale of a timeless Testarossa Jonathan Flower Keith Bluemel I have to go back to September of 1986 to explain my strong affection for two particular Ferrari tips, the GTS Turbo and the Testarossa, both of which I have since been fortunate to own. My very good friend Keith Bluemel called me back in 1986, and asked if I would like to accompany him on a trip to the Ferrari Factory. I hesitated for what must have been a nano-second before accepting, probably with a squeal of delight! |
| 42 | A memorable trip taken by | Prova! A memorable trip taken to Maranello to have a ride in the new Ferraris, way back in 1986 Keith Bluemel Keith Bluemel To spend each and every day of your working life driving a Ferrari must be the zenith of many a motoring enthusiast's dreams. There are two routes to the realisation of one's aspirations. If you are one of the fortunate few that possesses an extraordinary degree of driving skill, you may succeed to one of the two seats available in the Formula One team each year. The second and long term route is to become one of the fifteen test drivers employed by Ferrari SpA in Maranello. |
| 58 | Guida | A Guide to all Ferraris produced Plus the market as of Xxx 1, 2007... from a survey of selected dealers As noted last issue, the Ferrari market was showing some "healthy gains," but that has become a veritable push upwards that sees no end in sight. It has not gone crazy like the muscle car world, but great Ferraris are being scooped up, when they come up for sale at all, at purchase levels that are eye opening. Much of this is caused by too much money chasing too little product, but in reality, it is excess money around the world trying to find safe haven in anything of worth, including collectible Ferraris. |
