About This Item

The following is taken from (visit link)



In spring 1961 Formula One faced some major changes in its regulations. The main thing being the engine volume reduced to 1.5 litres. While the British teams Cooper, Lotus and BRM were discussing pro and contras of these new regulations, the Italians at Ferrari in a very untypical Italian matter just constructed a brand new car and engine to start the season. So when the season was of, they were well prepared compared to their British counterparts. In this season this little car bore fruit with five victories out of seven races including a fine 1-2-3-4 finish at Spa, Belgium. Only tremendous efforts and victories at Monaco and the Nürburgring by Stirling Moss in his Lotus-Climax 18/21 could stop these red cars. This magnificent little car was the famous Ferrari F 156, designed by engineer Carlo Chiti, and today known to the race world as the "Sharknose" model.

Just to let you know, this TB was listed as being in the cache "The Wold is your Lobster", but it didn't seem to be there when I visited the cache. It may have gone missing.

Dropped bug off close to Matchams with its go-kart racing. Apparently there's some secret military vehicle testing close by, too.
