Ferrari 512M: Time For Tea?
The Petrolicious Ferrari celebration continues. What, you've had enough of old V12s?
Moreover the whole story is told by David Hobbs, the man who raced this car with Mark Donohue through 1971 and who comes across as a thoroughly nice chap. Wait until he describes entering a bend at 206mph as "a bit unnerving the first time" in an entirely matter of fact fashion. And this is a man who raced the Ferrari at Daytona, Sebring, Le Mans and Watkins Glen in one year. Can you even imagine what those races were like?
So yes, it's quite a special little film this one. Shot and edited to the usual very high Petrolicious standards, it's a real treat for a Friday afternoon.

Awesome, awesome things - I've been semi obsessed with both the M and the S versions ever since buying 'Into the Red', and from that got very interested in all early '70s Group 5 racers. Agree that this must surely be the most PH of PH-worthy things. Apart from Can Am cars, maybe.
