Enzo Ferrari at the launch of his 1969 endurance contender the 312P…


Motorsports governing body introduced new sports car rules for 1968; Group 6 Prototypes with a maximum of 3 litres. In effect the CSI were making obsolete the ‘unlimited cars’ the 7 litre ‘pushrod’ Ford MkIV being built by Ford and the 4 litre ‘racing engine’ Ferrari P4Ferrari, which they considered too fast for the race tracks of the time.

Ferrari, in time honored fashion didn’t race in 1968 in protest at this sudden rule change but returned in 1969 with the Group 6 312P

the Grand Prix photobomber!


the guy on the far left? pretending to be interested in the hood scoop... is simply jumping into a photo of Enzo and Phil Hill, pretty clever huh!

From Denise McCluggage's article on Hagerty.com http://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/Articles/2014/07/08/Grand-Prix-Photobomber

Bernard Cahier was the go-to guy who knew everybody on the scene and behind it. People with cameras might be clicking away, and Bernard would maneuver to join not the photographers but the group being photographed.

Over time, I noticed other instances and decided Bernard was the most photographed photographer in racing.


both of these are at the 1960 French Gran Prix


He was also the guy who became famous for handing Stirling Moss a coke, on a hairpin turn


Stirling Moss takes a Coke from journalist Bernard Cahier at the Hairpin Turn at Sebring in 1957. Moss had seen some of the photographers at the Hairpin the lap before drinking Cokes so he gave them the classic thirsty sign (pretending to bring a bottle to his lips) as he drove by. Cahier grabbed a Coke bottle, opened it, and waited for Moss to come around again. As he did, Cahier handed the bottle to Moss. He drank it during the lap, then promptly deposited it in the grass at the hairpin on the next lap and gave them a wave as thanks.  Image by Smith Peter Kerr.

the Ferrari (is Ferrari the plural of Ferrari? or is it Ferraris)


Simple, elegant, beautiful in it's simplicity. As one famous designer once said, and is frequently quoted "Simplify, simplify, simplify"

Cool photography site, Spirited Drive tumbler


Lambo rims, really good looking design




Clint Eastwood and a Ferrari 275 GTB

Lance Reventlow Scarab

You don't see many action shots of good muscle Mustangs
Ferrari 330 P4

Enzo and someone important one supposes, (Bear knew it was Sir Alec Issigonis, who among other things designed the Mini ) and that answers my question of why have your photo taken with a mini when you are Enzo Ferrari

Eddie Griffin wrecks a Ferrari Enzo, here's the video, after the link

http://cbs2.com/video/?id=36337@kcbs.dayport.com and they included a commercial before the wreck.... sneaky bastards knew this would be a highly watched internet video, and are getting a lot of bang for the buck out of that commercial
