Two pictures of the 312 T3 from the pits at Long Beach in '78. Front view is Villeneuve's car, 3/4 view is Reutemann's. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Beautiful car, although I still think the 1990 Prost/Mansell 641 was absolutely gorgeous as well as the 95 Barnard Final V12 412 Car.
I saw one of those last year, and yes, it is a beautiful looking car. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I agree, this H.Posthewaite car should have been the 1982WDC, Gilles R.I.P. As far as Pironi, karma can be a *****. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for the Pic, Gilles at Long Beach in 78 & 79 when I was kid was the first GP Hero Driver of mine. The guy was awesome. Shame he only had a short time in F1. He was the opposite with the fans than his son was.
SWEET!!!! I always thought the T3 was a great looking car and it wasn't a bad performer either; just had the misfortune of going against possibly the prettiest GP car of all time and a fantastic performer-the Lotus 79.....damn Lotus had some beautiful cars.... Like the 640 and 126C2 also.......
The nice thing about the 126C2 is the clean simple lines, still looks good today, as do all timeless designs...on top of that beauty it was easily the best car that year... We all know what the bad thing about the C2 is.... Interesting how we mention the beauty of the T3 and 126C2; the T3 was the car GV drove in his first full season of F1 and it was the car he grabbed his first victory in; if that fateful accident in Belgium didn't occur, little doubt that GV would have won the WDC that year. People talk about AS v. AP; could you imagine the balance of the '82 season with GV vs DP?
This is from when F-1 cars were really cars! they separated the men from the boys... now you have to be a boy to drive one! the 126C2 is my 2nd most Favorite all time Ferrari F-1 Car... most Favorite is 312 T2 driven by Niki Lauda.... & 3rd is the original 312 driven by Surtees and Bandini... sexy car!
Great minds think alike. Or pick any Ferrari F1 ; 74 to 77 More curves than the slab sides on the 126
