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. :)

Well i might just buy them.
In theory Ferrari could buy them for the KERS package.


You couldn't afford them ;)

The "you can buy Honda for as little as £1" doesn't give the whole story. :P


I could probably run them for about 20 minutes!

Yeah, you'd have to plan before hand to get the most out of it.

Novi Ferrari že sredi januarja?
V italijanskih medijih so se pojavile govorice, da naj bi Ferrari že sredi januarja predstavil svoj dirkalnik za sezono 2009 in tako kot prvi odprl predstavitveno sezono.
Besedilo: Bojan Vrbnjak Foto: Ferrari
Časnik Gazzetta dello Sport trdi, da v Maranellu delajo na tem, da novi dirkalnik za sezono 2009 javnosti predstavijo že sredi januarja in sicer v Fioranu. Verjetni termin se omenja 15. januar, dan, ko bo novi dirkalnik predstavila tudi ekipa Toyote. Prve kilometre naj bi novi Ferrari opravil teden dni kasneje, skupaj z Williamsom in Renaultom na stezi v Portimau. O nazivi novega dirkalnika pa tačas še ni govora.

I have to ask why you bothered posting it if there's likely only you able to understand it. :confused:

It'd be like me posting something in Finnish and expecting you to understand. It'd just be silly :P

(Merry Christmas, by the way :) )

Yes sorry. I forgot. Was late when I posted it and was tired. Just forgot. However I always like to post the source of my comments when they are like this, so I still would of posted the Slovenian text as a reference. But The overall translation nutshell thing I simple forgot or should I say I only realised I forgot after I checked this thread again hours later.
