I found those images many years ago and sadly did not write anything down.

But some detective work tells me:

First image is a Ferrari 156 aka Sharknose at Monza. I think the driver is Ricardo Rodriguez based on helmet.

The middle images is Surtees at Monaco in 1966.

The final picture is Mr. Lauda at the Ring in 1976 based on the #1 on his 312T2

Now this one I know from memory



Mr. Coulthard telling Mr. Schumacher he is gonna be the champ in 2000 at Magny-Cours.

Although the F399 won the Scuderia their first WCC in 20 years the F1-2000 holds a special place in my heart because it won Schu his fist WDC in a Ferrari.

550 Maranello. Love the lines of this car.

A true Ferrari oddball, the Ferrari 312PB "sperimentale", tested here with Clay Regazzoni at Paul Ricard for the 1974 season.
Though it never ran in anger, as Ferrari withdrew from sportscar racing to focus on Formula 1, such a shame indeed;

Wow! X, that is oddball indeed. Mauro Forghieri came up with some truly !@$#$! designs at times

[Morteza]

What a horrible name for a car...

It is named after Sergio Pininfarina. The guy was responsible for many of the cars designs of which I truly adore (Ferrari 360 is still my favorite Ferrari design among the modern cars). I cannot say the same about this new one

Notice the innovative engine-scoop, feeding the inlet trumpets of the flat-12 through the roll-bar!

[J.A.W.]

Yeah, I seriously doubt that experimental sports-car mule would've ever been intended to be shown in public..
..not looking like that anyhow..

& the flat plate areas at the leading edge of the roll-scoop supports don't appear too sleek - aero-wise - either..

This is the sound of a true racecar; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dFzgsq49R8

This has to be my favorite Ferrari of the modern days.

Ferrari 360 Modena. I like it especially in blue (forgive me for my sacrilege there )

I love its simplicity, those gorgeous rims, those tail lights, those exhaust pipes.

[J.A.W.]

Yeah, M, the 430 certainly has a smooth - not too showy - style..
..but.. too bad it has an engine that sounds like a 4cyl Honda with a Mugen boy-racer exhaust pipe..

[Manoah2u]

that's a 360.

and i agree with the blue. looks amazing with light interior.

Yes, oops, - of course it is a 360 M,
Really dunno what my fingers were doing - doing a typo-upgrade like that..

I have had the pleasure of a close encounter with a similar blue coloured Ferrari,
- understated but classy compared to the garishly common red,
& it was a V12, so all the better aurally too..

To be precise, this one is the 575 M, the evolution of the 550 Maranello (who had blinkers close to the calender).
