4 | Notizie | Christie's Historic Festival and 25th Anniversary FOC meet at Silverstone Keith Bluemel, Marcel Massini Keith Bluemel To celebrate the twenty fifth anniversary of the Ferrari Owners Club in Great Britain, it was decided to incorporate the celebration into Britain's premier historic race meeting, the Christie's International Historic Festival at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire over the weekend of July 25 and 26. The idea obviously struck the right chord with members, as the turnout over the weekend was certainly the largest single gathering of the marque ever witnessed in England. |
10 | Notizie | Ferrari Club of America 1992 National Ferrari Concours Grand Rapids, Michigan - June 5, 1992 Robert Craig For the Best in Show at the annual Ferrari Club of America Concours in 1992 and for eleven years thereafter, the trophy will be a mounted piston and connecting rod from this Grand Prix 643 Ferrari V-12 engine. The power plant is courtesy of Ferrari North America and the Ferrari Factory, and it will reside in the showroom of Ferrari N.A.'s headquarters in New Jersey. |
11 | Notizie | New President of Ferrari North America announced As of August 1, the new head of Ferrari N.A. was Dr. Gian Luigi Buitoni. The announcement was something of a surprise in that Dr. Buitoni is not a Fiat of Ferrari executive being transferred into the post, as been the case over the past decade in the U.S. Rather, he is an international businessman with close personal ties to both Fiat Chairman Gianni Agnelli and to Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo. |
12 | Notizie | Italia a Zandvoort John Sinkgraven John Sinkgraven On the 20th of June, the Ferrari Club Nederland held its annual event on and around the Zandvoort circuit in Holland. The event was called "Italia à Zandvoort" and entry was permitted to all cars which have their origins in Italy. In this way entrant were able to bring along and race their FIAT 500s as well as their 275 GTBs or 250 GT SWBs. |
16 | Notizie | Spa Ferrari Days Wille Henderickx, Pierre Goossen Pierre Goossens The final race of the Spa Ferrari Days, held at the famous Francorchamps circuit in June, was won by Patrick Amelinckx in a regular F40, s/n 86782, after beating Teddy Pilette in the Ecurie Francorchamps 348 TBF, s/n 82881. |
18 | Notizie | Fairmont Park Vintage Grand Prix Festival 1992 Mark Wallach Mark Wallach It looked and felt like Europe in June of 1956 again, not June in 1992. Ferraris lined up for a road race between metal fencing, flags waving in the breeze, chattering crowds lined up two deep behind the fences while track people moved the cars forward. The drivers, some with passengers, white T-shirts, motorcycle goggles and only a few with helmets, watched the flag carrying starter. |
18 | Notizie | Meadow Brook Concours Jerry McDermott Jerry McDermott For the 1992 Meadow Brooks concours, the honored marques were first, all the varied exotic French Classics on different chassis, and two, the Aston Martin. While the honored marques received their share of awards within their categories, there were numerous Ferraris capturing the judges' attention in the two sports car divisions at Meadow Brook. |

21 | Arte | New portfolio announced - a Legend pays tribute to a Legend Antonio De'Giusti Antonio De'Giusti Many years ago when we began this small escapade called 'Cavallino', we included in our first ever issue of the magazine a profile of Professor Antonio De'Giusti, an artist who by then, in the late 1970s, was already famous in the small world of Ferrari. He had gained this special recognition partly because of a unique friendship and mutual admiration that had evolved between Prof. De'Giusti and Enzo Ferrari himself. |
26 | Fotografia | Louis Klementaski documents a rivalry A moment in time Michael T. Lynch Louis Klementaski Louis Klementaski's camera opens an historic window, allowing us to view a moment during a watershed year in Grand Prix racing. To get the full effect of the image, we must digress. Mercedes dominated top line racing in the immediate pre-World War II period. Banned from international competition until 1950, they reentered European Grand Prix racing in 1954 for the first time since the war. |
28 | Feature | Ferrari 512 TR - a Ride in the Rocket Test drive at Fiorano and in the hills around Maranello Guy Mangiamele Guy Mangiamele On Sunday evening around sunset, the Factory was quiet. Walking the perimeter and looking through various crash in the walls, I saw several prototypes, tightly covered, that I couldn't identify. Surround then were new TRs, 348s, very few Mondials, and the last eight or so F40s, waiting for their final detailing. The only sound was the hum of distant ventilators. |
34 | Feature | Pontoon Fender Prototype! The first pontoon rendered Ferrari was the second Testa Rossa - s/n 0704 Jerry McDermott Dennis Simon, Bob Tronolone With the typical multi-year development time of an American car of the 1990s, it's hard to comprehend the former radical short Ferrari timetable for what would become the 250 Testa Rossa race cars. In essence, Ferrari race cars were not used solely for experimentation, nor were they simply development vehicles. They were to be raced and then modified as the occasion demanded. |
38 | Corse | The more things change Formula One Championship Audouin de Forestier Much news to tell, with John Barnard back on the payroll, and a new driver signed for 1993, but we'll proceed in some kind of chronological order. Canadian GP - Alesi drives well and is third French GP - Alesi impresses one and all in the Rain British GP - Not a good Day; Alesi out, Capelli late German GP - Alesi gains a fifth; Capelli is out John Barnard rehired; team reorganized again Senna is courted; Berger is signed |
41 | Corse | Pirelli Maranelo Challenge continues John Sinkgraven Much good racing to be had in England, as the Pirelli Maranello Challenge continues in fine form, and as the season wears on, it has become quite exciting, what with a different winner each race, and with some unusual Ferraris heading up the leader board. Round Four - Donington Park, May 31, 1992 Round Five - Silverstone, June 7, 1992 Round Six - Zandvoort, June 20, 1992 |
