Vintage Ferrari Race Car Pics

I only wish I could post the sound these were making today

The beautiful looking and sounding BB512LM




Spectacular 250 GTO

One of four 308 race cars to be built by the Factory

If you could only hear what I was hearing when I took this pic....

I'm so jealous right now! By the way, looks like you're due for a big boy camera...

You should have heard it!!!!

I spoke with the owner who told me that this particular car was number one of a total of four factory-built 308 racers. It had a beautiful shape compared to the BB512LM's (also pictured on this thread) that appeared a bit too long.

In looking at the BB512LM's you can see where they got the inspiration for the MC12 Corsa design. Long, low and sleek.

Hey Eric, how hard do you think it'll be to get this kind of photo access at Infineon in a couple of weeks? Your camera sucks so I'm going to show you how it's done!

You will have full access to every area of the race except for the pits/starting grid area. That means you will have full access to the paddock, the cars, their owners, the mechanics, etc, etc, etc. Compared to all other forms of racing, vintage racing is a "hobby" sport full of people who cannot wait to tell you all about their cars, the car's history, what they are like to drive, etc. Like I said, bring plenty of power and memory for your camera. You will get thousands of amazing pics.
