Friday's Ferrari

This is one of the cars that took part in the Shell Historic Ferrari Maserati Challenge race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.

It's Paul Pappalardo's 1967 Ferrari 412 P, also known as a P3/P4, which was a customer version of the Ferrari 330 P3. Both cars have a 3,967cc V12 engine, but the 330 P3 has Lucas fuel injection whilst the 412 P has six Weber carburettors - which gives it slightly less power than the fuel injection cars and made the private entries less likely to beat the works cars. Paul Pappalardo's car is chassis #0850 and was originally built for the Belgian Ecurie Francorchamps team. hence the yellow Belgian racing colour. Only two cars were originally built as 412 Ps, #0850 and #0854. Two cars were built as 330 P3s, #0844 and #0848, but were later converted to 412 P specification. The car was driven in the race by Gary Pearson.
