Thoughts on #365GTB4 🏁🏁 The style of the #365GTB4 was iconic. Its vast bonnet emphasised the #V12power beneath. This was a mighty beast, more #muscular warhorse than rampant pony. The Colombo V2 had grown to 4.4 litres, from the 3.3 of the previous #275GTB4 The soft poetry of the 275 GTB4’s lines had been sharpened into a muscular wedge. The short, sharp tail further emphasised the length of the nose. It was a car #dominated by that #front-mounted #engine and its promise of power. As the fastest road #Ferrari of its time, the 365GTB4 was a logical (and successful) choice for the #racetrack Which it duly delivered. Maximum #power was 352 hp, and top speed was 280 km/h – by some margin, the fastest road Ferrari up to that time. And while it bucked the emerging #trend to supercars that placed their engines behind their drivers, the #Daytona was generally thought superior to mid-rear engined rivals in handling and predictability. Its excellent #weight distribution – helped by the #rear transaxle and a V12 sited largely aft of the front axle – clearly helped. For proof, it would go on to be a highly #successful sports racer. #Competition versions would win their #class in the #LeMans 24-hour race in 1972, 1973 and 1974. As late as 1979 – six years after it ceased production – a Daytona would finish second outright in the Daytona 24-hour race. Ferrari Scuderia Ferrari Fast Auto Technic Co.

🔥 Rev up your engines and buckle up because the Formula 1 circus is back in town! 🗞️ The Tech from the first Grand Prix of the season is finally out. Here are some sneak peaks: 🇮🇹 Scuderia Ferrari: Leap forward for the Scuderia Ferrari, as the SF- 24 seems to have a better base than last year’s car. Ferrari seem to have fixed this problem now and it is evident that the car reacts well to stresses. Regarding the suspension then, are the similar for every car, and it changes only their height in relation to aerodynamics. 🇬🇧 McLaren Racing: The papaya team emerged from the inaugural Grand Prix of the 2024 season as the fourth-fastest team, with Red Bull, Ferrari but also Mercedes ahead of them. The MCL38 is an evolution of the MCL60: it's not a limit in the development, but on a practical level it affects the PU, as it's better to build the car around it. Having said that, there are no other big limits. For more detailed insights, check out the link provided (https://lnkd.in/dX5UFMVS) for a comprehensive overview of the weekend's action. 👀 So, fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a rollercoaster ride of speed, strategy, and spectacle throughout the 2024 F1 season!🔜 #McLaren #ScuderiaFerrari #f1

The Aston Martin Valkyrie just flexed its muscles at Silverstone, smashing the production car lap record by more than 10 seconds with a blazing time of 1:56.42. That makes it the first production car to complete the 3.661-mile circuit in under two minutes—fitting for a hypercar developed with Red Bull Racing tech and packing a 1,160-hp hybrid powertrain. Piloted by Le Mans legend Darren Turner, the $3 million Valkyrie outpaced the previous record holder, a tuned Porsche 911 GT2 RS, by a massive margin. Sure, it’s still a half-minute behind Max Verstappen’s F1 lap, but for a street-legal car, it’s basically lapping the competition. #robbreport #luxury #astonmartin #automotive #cars

🔴 NEWS: Ahead of Lewis Hamilton‘s arrival at Ferrari, the team could do a technical change of direction with the pull-rod front suspension being in focus. The pull-rod front suspension is being used by Red Bull and McLaren, with the design clearly having aerodynamic advantages. The airflow is being improved around the front of the car and critically for the venturi tunnels underneath. The underbody creates most of the downforce, hence the importance of it. To revise the suspension would require an all-new chassis due to the need of new attachments to the suspension arms and movement of the internet mechanism. The change could also require a different driver position, which could improve weight distribution, an area Ferrari is keen to find gains in. Ferrari is the only team to run a pull-rod rear suspension. The team is convinced that there are no significant gains from having a push-rod concept on the rear of the car like other teams have. Technical director Enrico Cardile explained that the team received positive results from it. 📸 F1_Gresty , edited by RacingUpdate #F1 #Formula1 #Ferrari #RedBull #SF24 #RB20 #Car #RedBullRacing #ScuderiaFerrari #FIA #Motorsports

The McLaren F1 LM is a rare and highly desirable car for collectors due to its exclusivity and historical significance. It was produced in very limited quantities - only 6 pieces, of which 5 were sold to private collectors, and one was left in the McLaren museum. The McLaren F1 LM was created to commemorate the victory in the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995. This model was developed from the racing car that won the race and received a number of improvements. Unlike the regular McLaren F1, the LM had more power, better aerodynamics, stiffer suspension and a lightweight carbon fiber body. Only 106 McLaren F1s were produced, and of those, only 5 were modified into the McLaren F1 LM. Moreover, the McLaren F1 LM was a car with very impressive performance, both on the road and on the race track. It was capable of accelerating to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds and reaching speeds of over 350 km/h. These impressive features make this car not only rare, but also highly desirable for collectors. In addition, the McLaren F1 LM has an outstanding history, which is associated with one of the most famous automobile races in the world - the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The McLaren F1's victory in this race was a great victory for the British manufacturer and made the car historically significant. Collectors are always interested in cars that have special history and significance, which is why the McLaren F1 LM is an important collector's item. #mclarenf1lm #rarecar #collectorcar #24houroflemans #historicsignificance

🚩 Serving a Life Sentence Reluctant to give up the fight with Ferrari, Aston Martin developed a new version of the DB4 GT to run under the new four-litre prototype rules of 1962. Drastic measures were needed to bring the Aston Martin DB4 GT to the V12 Ferrari 250 GT. Aston Martin commissioned Italian coachbuilder Zagato, who had earned quite a reputation, to design and construct an even lighter body. Although lighter and more powerful than ever, the DB4 GT Zagato still could not match the Ferraris. The final DB4 GT Aston, constructed with a Bertone-styled body, was shown at the 1961 Geneva and Turin Motor Shows. To catch and beat Ferrari, Aston built the DP215, a prototype sports car for grand touring racing in 1963. Using significantly more aluminium for the chassis, it was considerably lighter than the DB4 GT. Developed as a one-off prototype for the illustrious 24 Hours of Le Mans, the DP215 boasted a radical departure from Aston Martin's racing lineage. Its sleek, aerodynamic bodywork achieved blistering speeds on the Le Mans circuit. Powered by a 4.0-liter inline-six engine, producing 323hp, yet still failed to topple Ferrari's crown. Despite mechanical setbacks during its brief racing incumbency, the DP215 left an inerasable mark on the track. Setting a lap record during practice at the 1963 Le Mans, hitting up to 198 mph speeds on the Mulsanne Straight. Aston Martin produced only one DP215 prototype. Today, it would command staggering prices at auction, a testament to its rarity and historical significance. Despite its setbacks at Le Mans, the DP215's advanced aerodynamics and robust engine left an enduring imprint on Aston Martin's racing ethos. Elements of its design echoed in subsequent models. Most striking was the completely new body, which from the front resembled the Le Mans-winning DBR1 and much later inspired the designers of the DB7 Vantage. In essence, the Aston Martin DP215 stands as a timeless icon. It is revered for its ground-breaking design, formidable performance, and enduring legacy in automotive engineering. 'If speed were a crime, the DP215 would be serving a life sentence'.

What is the fastest Formula 1 car of all time? The 2024 cars use some of the most advanced technology and testing equipment to be the quickest on track – but contrary to popular belief, the 2024 cars are not the fastest of all time. The 2018-2021 era delivered the fastest F1 cars yet, with new regulations introduced to increase speed and make racing more exciting. During this time, the Mercedes W11 set the record for the fastest average lap at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix, hitting 164.267mph. However, it was in 2005 that the highest top speed was ever officially recorded at a race weekend. The McLaren MP4-20 hit 231.52mph at the Monza Grand Prix. Aerodynamics have come a long way in Formula 1, and with our advanced aerodynamic pressure scanners, we’re helping teams achieve even faster speeds for the seasons ahead.
