Why do you never hear of the Ferrari F50 anymore?

There was a short film produced by Ferrari of the F50 featuring Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger. One of them driving it on the track and the other on the mountain roads near Modena. Lasted for around 10mins.

Some fantastic footage but I'm been bias as my uncle was the camera man. He told me he was bruised and battered as he had to sit side on in the passenger seat so as to hold the camera on Jean or Gerhard while they raced around. He thus was unable to wear a seatbelt!!

Would be fascinated to see the film again if anyone knows where to find it.

Been trying for AGES to find that.
Seriously dont know where it is.


I do plan on making my own HD video about it either this year or next.

A good read. I didn't know it had a cast iron block.

There's a great newsletter from America that is online and free that discussed the F50 and F40 running costs in one issue. I wish I could find it now. The guy who writes it is a Ferrari hunter of sorts for his clients but he indicated the F50 had pretty reasonable running cost cf. others. He mentioned the speedo light going out and requiring an expensive replacement as the only thing. I don't suppose anybody can find the link?

Joe Sackey?
