1956 Sebring 12h, Ferrari 860 Monza Scaglietti Spyder
The Ferrari 860 Monza was equipped with a Lampredi designed 3.4 liter 4-cylinder. The displacement of a single cylinder was almost 860 cc, which gave the car its name. Such a big 4-cylinder provides great torque and drivability and that showed. The car made its racing debut at Sebring 1956 and immediately scored a double victory. Fangio and Castelotti won with a 2 lap margin over Musso and Schell.

1965 Le Mans 24h, Ferrari 250 LM
Ford tried hard to win Le Mans after Enzo wouldn’t sell his factory. The fords didn’t perform well yet in 1965 and so the mid-engined 250 LM was the last Ferrari to win Le Mans overall because it was much more reliable. Ferrari had to wait until 2023 before they won the classic again.

The little 250 LM was the last Ferrari to win Le Mans overall. In 1966 it was completely outdated, the new 330 P3 was much much quicker. But that one was also defeated by the mighty Ford GT40 MkII’s that won Le Mans. Equipe Nationale Belge entered this 250 LM.

The total mad Targa Florio was a prey for Porsche from 1966 until 1970. In 1966, Porsche 906 finished 1st, 3rd, 5th and 8th. The other high placed teams all drove also light cars: a 2-liter factory Ferrari Dino finished 2nd, 2 Alfa Romeo TZ2, 2 Alpine A110 and a MGB were all in the top 10. The powerful Ferrari 330 wasn’t the easiest car to drive on the narrow mountain roads and hairpins. Local heroes Bandini and Vaccarella didn’t make it to the finish due to a crash in the 7th lap.

Giorgi proved that powerful cars could do well, they finished 5th in his Ford GT40.

Scuderia Filipinetti was a privately owned Swiss team that raced Ferraris often but also competed with other brands occasionally. This year they entered this 412P. It was one of seven Ferrari prototypes in this years’s Le Mans 24-hour race. Besides the cars that finished on the podium, many others had engine troubles, so did this one. It retired because of excessive oil loss, it wouldn’t have finished the race anyway.

Ferrari switched strategy a few times. At first they didn’t want to built a 3-liter at all. Then they did, this 312 P with 12-cilinder Formula 1 engine. Rodriguez drove this 312 P to 5th place in the CanAm race at bridgehampton. Then Ferrari stopped the development to built a 5-liter sports car just as Porsche did with its 917. A few years later a completely other 3-liter car – the 312 PB – was developed.
