The subject of this book is Ferraris racing history from 1960 to 1965, a period that was one of the most successful in the marques history so far.In this era, which began with completion of the transition from frontengined to rearengined configuration, Scuderia Ferrari won just about everything with a variety of iconic machinery that included the sharknose 156 and the fabled 250 GTO. Driving Formula 1 Ferraris, Phil Hill and John Surtees delivered two World Championship titles in the space of four years. Ferrari sports cars racked up a string of six consecutive victories in the Le Mans 24 Hours, a feat subsequently surpassed only by Porsche. 1960: A year of transition in F1, struggling with the powerful frontengined Dinos while rearengined Cooper blew away its rivals; Le Mans yielded five of the top six places with Testa Rossas placed 12. 1961: F1 supremacy with the allconquering sharknose 156 Ferraris design for the new 1litre formula saw Phil Hill emerge as World Champion after Wolfgang von Tripss death at Monza, and brought Ferraris first constructors title; another Testa Rossa sweep at Le Mans gave Olivier Gendebien his third Ferrari victory in this classic race and Phil Hill his second. 1962: After the departure of key engineering brains, F1 fortunes plummeted, with no victories all year; but Ferraris onward march in sports car and GT racing continued, enhanced by the arrival of the 250 GTO; Gendebien and Hill won Le Mans yet again. 1963: Former motorcycle champion John Surtees began the effort to restore F1 success against Lotus preeminence; Ferraris rearengined sports cars finally bore fruit as Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti in a 250 P won Le Mans, where Ferraris now took the top six places. 1964: With the F1 title chase going down to the wire, John Surtees delivered another pair of drivers and constructors crowns driving the new V8powered 158; Nino Vaccarella and Jean Guichet in their 275 P headed yet more Ferrari steamrolling success at Le Mans. 1965: The last year of 1litre F1 brought a lean Ferrari season while Lotus again dominated; sports car success continued, topped by an unexpected sixth consecutive Le Mans victory, achieved by Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory in a 250 LM. This book covers this period in detail for the first time and exclusively features the work of one of the greatest racing photographers ever.
