Fun fact: It wasn't a Ferrari factory entry that won overall in 1965, instead it was the 250LM of the N.A.R.T (North American Racing Team). Overall, the '65 Le Mans was one of best races at the venue.

Congrats for this nice video 👏 Le Mans 1966 was a huge defeat for Ferrari against Ford. But very often everybody forget that few months later (January 1967) Ferrari placed 3 cars in the top 3 spots at the 24h of Daytona. In what was considered a sort of home-soil for Ford.

Ferrari did race the 312pb at Le Mans in ‘73. Brian Redman and Jacky Ickx led most of the race, but retired in the 22 hour with engine failure.

What a fantastic video. Absolutely loved those old archive footage clips of Ferrari's race cars through the years. As a Ferrari fan I'm so happy and excited to see Ferrari finally making a comeback to the prototype racing class. Hopefully the 499P will add another glorious chapter to Ferrari's illustrious racing heritage.

it was epic when ferrari made a 1-2-3 at daytona as a revenge to ford

Awesome video

Good video. However you made at least one key mistake. Ford did not "instantly" end Ferrari's winning streak. Ford tried and failed twice against that same Ferrari team (1964 and 1965) before their first victory. Also, Ford didn't make sure Ferrari ever won again. Ferrari kept competing and it was Porsche who gets that credit. After 1970, it was clear that beating Porsche would be a tremendous undertaking. Ferrari quit some years after that (1973). Ford had already quit endurance racing.

Porsche doesn't get that credit either. Ferrari simply decided to concentrate only on Formula 1 because it was getting financially too difficult to keep racing in both F1 and prototype racing category. Nothing to do with any other car company.

Oh god, the holy 333 SP! One of the prettiest prototype race cars ever built.

I think the 333SP was actually an IMSA car and technically not legal for LeMans, just like the Panoz "Batmobile". The ACO allowed the cars to enter but put engine and other restrictions on them that made each uncompetitive against the Porsche, Mercedes, Toyota etc. LeMans prototypes.

@christheradar

Жыл бұрын

You're right, the 333SP was an IMSA prototype sports car. It joined the IMSA series in 1994 and then joined Le Mans in 1995 - 1999. The 333SP was technically legal to race at Le Mans as it competed in the LMP1 class. Therefore it is a Le Mans Prototype.

Late 1950s to early 1970s was the era of the most beautiful Le mans cars.

Terrific video, loved seeing all the Ferraris over the years

333sp will always be my favorite "modern" (yes i know its quite old now lol) lmp. Gorgeous. Really reminds me of the 312pbs. Throw in a v12, no paddle shifts or driver aids, and you have one of the last unadulterrated lmps ever built

I was at the 24 hours Daytona in 1996. And it was a dog fight. Between Ferrari and Oldsmobile. And the Oldsmobile will have lost the third year around midnight. And I was standing at turn one. And I could hear the guy rev up the engine in the Oldsmobile. Coming out of the road course and on to the banking and shift the gears from 2nd to 4th.And the battle on the tracks. Between Ford Ferrari and Oldsmobile. Was outstanding. But sadly Oldsmobile with us anymore. Now if Ford builds a hypercar. I was born in 67. So I never got to see them guys race. So it'd be pretty interesting if Ford builds a hypercar.

I saw 333SPs race several times at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut. when the IMSA circuit payed its yearly visit. An enduring memory is of encountering a bright red (what else?) example inching through a crowded paddock en route to the pre-grid. At one point, no more than ten or so feet away from ,me, the mechanic then behind the wheel goosed the throttles to clear the engine's throat, if you will , producing a sound that could break glass -- and probably did. Once heard, never forgotten. One of my very fave Ferraris.

These videos are great dude, wish I came across them earlier. And I'm not sure if you've done one yet, but I think a video on Bugatti would be amazing.

Imagine this if Ferrari had balanced. Between Formula 1 and endurance racing. They would have beaten Porsche at least a couple of times at the 24 hours of Daytona the 12 hours of Sebring and the 24 hours of LeMans. And without that 3 L engine. We wouldn't have the iconic rally car. The Lancia Stratos. Which won 3 world rally championships 76,77 and 78. And if you follow endurance racing. I would look up the rallying.

The 499P is being run by AF Course.

4:14 You're talking about Ferrari, but you're wrong, this timestamp shows their main competitor from Maserati🔱, 1957 450S. 😉

I remember when they came out new I was heavy into sports car racing, had a 944 turbo at the time. The 333sp's were a deal when they were bought new, they came with a spare engine, 2 x sets wheels, 1 extra set of body work and a couple of splitters. for under 1million.

@christheradar

Жыл бұрын

That is very very impressive ngl given that the engine is derived from F1 and yet costs beneath $1 million.

It might be worth mentioning that the 488 GTEs that race in the GTE pro class are basically a factory effort. That program is done in the same way that the new 499p will be run by AF Corse. So yes this is the first factory ferrari prototype effort in 50 years, but not the first ferrari factory effort at le mans in the last 50 years.

Did I miss something? Ferrari said they never raced the 312PB at the 24 hours of Le Mans though it was permitted to race there. Due to having concerns about the F1-based powerplant not lasting 24 hours in testing after research. Update: Okay, so the 312PB did intend 1973, Le Mans with an improved engine but was prone to unreliable, leading to the risk and stress of breaking down. Ironically, it was the only top-class Ferrari in the race to survive the 24 hours and finished 2nd place.

Also, your 1955 LeMams fill footage, showing the Macklin-Levegh accident was visually backwards. You also used footage from the movie "Le Mans" without giving proper ownership credit. Correct these problems, and you are on the doorstep of a truly professional video product.

To remember that since '60's first years Ferrari had big financial troubles. So much that Ford tried Ferrari acquisition in 1963, the deal was almost done, but Enzo Ferrari refused when discovered he had not all control over the budget for racing activities. About 1965 GM tried to acquire Ferrari. By 1968 Ferrari was near bankrupt. Fiat purchased the 50%, saved the company, got control over road car and Enzo Ferrari had full control over racing activities includong the budget. Ferrari is back in endurance races since F1 budget rules introduced by FIA starting season 2022.

Uhh, I can argue the 50s - 70s Ferrari prototype cars were LMP back in the day. And yes they have... Ferrari built the F333SP and raced it from 1994-2003. Now they are returning back to Le Mans Prototype racing in 2023. In between that 20-year-hiatus, there were rumors (since 2014 or whenever) that Ferrari would finance an LMP-1 program (back when LMP1 existed) and Ferrari was and still is linked with Formula One. But Ferrari's return to prototype racing seemed unlikely at the time because of its reputation of losing in F1 and because its money couldn't afford to take a beating at Le Mans. That's until 2021 when FIA and ACO announced the new Le Mans Hypercar and LMDh program, Ferrari built the car under LMH regulations.
