I read something along those lines but Thankyou plenty Gregg for clearing that up for me.
this is a bit late in the post, but on about page 3 or 4 its said that ferrari didn't compete in can-am, they did, built and ran a car for at least a year driven by chris amon and powered by a 7.5 litre v12. they did also build an indy car in the 80's but never raced it. it was probably built when they were having one of their spats at f1 and not getting their way, as a threat to say we're leaving
I knew about the Indy car that Ferrari built and never raced. I wonder why though? Maybe not enough support or funding, but Ferrari do have a big and strong customer base in The United States of America. So never made too much sense not to race the car in Formula Indy.
When John Barnard joined Ferrari in '87 to be its new chief designer he directed that the V8 turbo Indianapolis project be put on the back burner while he focused on Ferrari’s Formula One car. When the Indianapolis 500 was run on May 24, 1987, the Ferrari V8 turbo Formula Indy was not in the field, and when Enzo Ferrari died on Aug. 14, 1988, the dream of winning at Indianapolis seemed to have died with him so there you have it, F1 above all else.
I read something along those lines but Thankyou plenty Gregg for clearing that up for me.
