Friday's Ferrari

Ferrari was the featured car at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997 and this is one of the cars featured in the Ferrari display.
It's a 1949 Ferrari 166 chassis #011F that had been raced in the late 1940s and early 1950s in Argentina by Juan Manuel Fangio and José Froilán Gonzáles. It was built with a 1,995cc V12 engine and was originally used in Formula 2 racing, but became eligible for World Championship races when they were contested by 2 litre cars in 1952 and 1953. The 'YPF' decal on the side of the car denotes the Argentinian state energy company Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales.
