There are going to be some of the most epic Ferrari’s in Formula 1 history at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and this right here is one of them. The crew caught up with this car at the Monaco Historics race and man we couldn’t be happier that they did. Ferrari has been racing in F1 for 75 years now, and that mean’s they have seen some things and done some things. But while all these Ferraris are epic and cool, some definitely stand out from the rest. These cars were from a different era of racing and race car drivers. If you put a driver from 1964 in a 2024 F1 car they would probably express two things. Number one that nothing he ever imagined could compare to the performance just experienced, and two that he’d never driven a race car that was so “easy” to drive.
Don’t take my words to mean that I think old drivers had more skill than new drivers, that’s not the point at all. I mean it physically, not as a matter of skill. You see, race cars of all kinds were horrible ill handling and limited cars back in the day. So drivers had to literally manhandled these cars to make them perform. That level of physical interaction isn’t the same 60 years later.
So these cars will always hit a little different when you think about what it was like when they were the fastest things on four wheels.
