Friday's Ferrari

This is one of the cars taking part in 'A Demonstration of Italian Racing Cars' at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005, and it's seen at McLeans Corner.
It's John Fenning's 1980 Ferrari 312 T5, chassis 048 being driven by Mike Littlewood, and the car has the same 2,992cc flat-12 Ferrari 015 engine that powered all the 312T cars. Jody Scheckter and Gilles Villeneuve drove the T5 in the 1980 season, but didn't manage to win a single Grand Prix, their best efforts being three fifth place finishes, two for Villeneuve and one for Scheckter. Jody Scheckter retired from racing at the end of that season.
