This is one of several Ferrari Grand Prix cars, dating from 1980 to 2002, that took part in track demonstration runs during the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005.
It's the 1997 Ferrari F310B of Uwe Meissner, a car that was driven by Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine in the 1997 season, and is pictured here at McLeans Corner during one of the demonstration runs. The 310B was developed by Rory Byrne and Ross Brawn from the 1996 Ferrari 310 which was designed by John Barnard and has a 2,998cc V10 engine with twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. In the 1997 season Ferrari finished second to Williams in the Constructors' Championship and Schumacher finished second in the Drivers' Championship, but his record for the season was expunged because he deliberately drove into Jacques Villeneuve's car as the Williams driver was overtaking him in the final race of the season, the European Grand Prix in Jerez. Eddie Irvine finished in seventh place in the Drivers' Championship which was won by Jacques Villeneuve. Uwe Meissner's car is chassis number 172.
