Round 23...In 1951 a young driver was about to drive for Ferrari but at the last minute Enzo replaced him, and he never drove for them. Who was the driver?

 

Sterling Moss

 

Who is "Sterling" Moss?

It was indeed Stirling Moss who traveled to Bari at the invitation of Enzo to drive a new Tipo 500, but when he took a seat in the car, he was kicked out and told that the drive had gone to Taruffi.

 

Sterling Moss is indeed correct. And thank you for the follow-up Miltonian!

Gerald...

But if you'd like, you can combine our points and our names and just call us The Ferrari Market Letter...

 

My mistake, I was up past my bedtime.

 

Just lurking here, thought I'd pose a question--no points to be awarded..

How many total F1 drivers have driven for Ferrari since the inception of its F1 program? Bonus--list them per decade?

(Only drivers who turned a wheel in competition, no test drivers)

Greg

 

Haha, that would just dominate the board. I switched the point from you to Gerald..the revised board is now..

NNO - 3 points
Wayne - 3 points
Miltonian - 3 points
FarmerDave - 2 points
vur - 2 points
Darkhorse575 - 1 point
Pranucci - 1 point
ferrariartist - 1 point
BlackRX7Turbo - 1 point

Round 24 still remains unanswered

 

I'm gonna take a couple of guesses but I think they're both wrong, since I can't find any references to a "region" of these clubs...

British Racing Drivers' Club?

La Società Maranello Sportiva?

I found references to a Trofeo Enzo Ferrari associated with both organizations, but I'm not certain either one is correct.

 

Neither are correct.

 

But Gerald's leaving for Monterey on Monday and I'm going to need all the help I can get.

 

Total stab in the dark here, but how about the Milan region of the Rotary club...?

 

Afraid not. Gerald could still answer questions, I'll be in Monterey .

 

Enzo ferrari was honorary president of Circolo Sportivo Ferraristi, Mantova region.
Founded in 1956, it is the oldest Ferrari Club. Someone knew a good thing when they saw it...

Are you going to keep this thread going while you're in Monterey? It's become my favorite thread... If you'll be out of town, pass the reins to someone else... maybe NNO since he has all the reference material to pull questions from.)

(I'm just bummed cause I'm not going to Monterey after all... )

 

Have any additional information on that? Not the correct answer I'm looking for as it was in the early 60's and he was simply an honorary member, he didn't hold any positions in the group.

 

I'm glad I have followers of this thread. It's become a great learning experience for me too. I will keep it going while I'm in Monterey. I will have my laptop with me that's always connected to the internet, if not I have my phone which is as well. On top of that I will be uploading a ton of pictures from Jim's unveiling, the Ferrari event (most likely the 599 unveiling), and the Concours d'Elegance. I'm not sure if I will be able to make it to the Concorso however :-(.

on my browser the type on the website is white on white... you have to highlite it to see it but here it is in italian...

Il Circolo Ferraristi Mantova, fondato nel 1956, è il più vecchio Club Ferrari della storia che fa riferimento alla mitoca casa madre "FERRARI". Fin dalla sua nascita il club è stato oggetto di attestazioni di stima, documentata dalla stampa di allora, da parte dell'Ing. Enzo Ferrari, tanto che lo stesso accettò di esserne presidente onorario.

my real rusty italian - with the help of Google translator - says that means he was honorary president...

i just figured they didnt get around to the honorarium till the 4 or so years later...

drat. i'm runnin out of ideas fast....

Interesting bit of information, anyone else here know more knowledge about it?

 

It's been a couple of days now. Shall I give a hint?

 

i also found this:

in 1961 he belonged to the "Federazione Provinciale Cooperative e Mutue" of Modena

i couldnt find info about a trophy, so i doubt this is it...

Nope, not it.
