Ferrari's Sports Prototype and Competition Cars in a Deserved History, January 10, 2009
This review is from: Scarlet Passion: Ferrari's famed sports prototypes and competition sports cars (Hardcover)
For fans of a certain vintage, no period of Ferrari's sports car competition history has more fascination than the 60s and 70s, when the transition was made to mid-engined cars and Ferrari faced stout competition from Porsche and Ford. Anthony Pritchard's Scarlet Passion covers the period from 1962 through 1973 and delivers a deserved documentation of the glory cars in their glory years. Ferrari fans will find much here: all significant grand touring and prototype cars, including the 250 LM, the Can-Am cars, the 312P prototypes, the 512S and 512M cars which competed with the legendary Porsche 917, and the 312 PB. Sections on personalities, specifications, championship race results, and detailed histories for specific chassis numbers provide the detail required. The book is also lavishly illustrated with wonderful pictures of each type. Not to be missed.
