Friday's Ferrari

This car took part in the Shell Ferrari Historical Challenge race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997.

According to the programme of the event car number 1 is Engelbert Stieger's 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, which was due to be driven in the race by Christoph Stieger, but the number 1 above is Engelbert Stieger's 3 litre 1972 Ferrari 312P, chassis #0888. The 312P was introduced in 1971 and has a 2,991cc flat-12 engine, and it is sometimes referred to as a 312PB to differentiate it from the 1969 312P which had a 2,990cc V12 engine - the 'B' being a reference to the boxer engine of the later car.

This car took part in the Shell Historic Ferrari Maserati Challenge race at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.

Officially designated by Ferrari as a 1971 Ferrari 312 P, it has a 2,991cc flat-12 engine and is generally known as a 312 PB (for 'boxer') to differentiate it from the earlier 1969 312 P that had a 3 litre V12 engine. Like the earlier 312 P the 312 PB was a Group 6 Prototype Sports Car, but was re-designated as a Group 5 Sports Car for the 1972 season. The car is chassis #0880 and at the time of this Donington Park meeting it was owned by the American William Binnie, who appears to be driving the car in this photograph taken in the pit lane during a practice session, although the programme of the event shows the driver as Ray Bellm.

On 26 February 2016 I showed a photograph of the car in the pit garage at this meeting.

Here's a Ferrari in the pit garage at Donington Park at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting in June 2003.

It's William Binnie's 1971 Ferrari 312 P, usually known as the 312 PB to distinguish it from the 1969 312 P, and it was driven in the Shell Historic Ferrari Maserati Challenge Race by Ray Bellm. The serial number of this car is 0880.

This car is pictured at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.

It's a 1972 Ferrari 312 P, usually (but unofficially) known as a PB to distinguish this car with a 3 litre flat-12 boxer engine from the 1969 Ferrari 312 P which had a 3 litre V12 engine. The programme of the event shows car 55 to be a Ferrari 250 GTO to be driven by Christoph Stieger, but it looks as if he drove Englebert Stieger's Ferrari 312 P instead. The car is serial number 0888.
