Fedex was a key sponsor for Jacques Swaters' Ecurie/Garage Francorchamps big Ferrari Celebration "FF40" in September 1992, in Brussels and Spa-Francorchamps. I attended the entire meeting and clearly it was one of the top three Ferrari events, ever. Marcel Massini
FF40 is still my all time favorite as well. What other two events are in your top three? By the way I have a dvd of the FF40 event where they also show these cars arriving at the airport. Very cool.
Top 3? Let's make that top 5: Raid Ferrari d'Epoca, Modena, Italy, September 1981. Ferrari Days, Modena, Italy, September 1983. FOC/FCA International Concours & Meet at Rancho Canada Golf Club, Carmel Valley, and Laguna Seca, CA/USA, August 1984. Swaters/Francorchamps FF 40 meeting, Belgium, September 1992. Ferraris bodied by Touring Celebration Tour, Italy, September 2019 (This was a private event organised by 2Fast4You and legendary fchatter Clive Beecham). Marcel Massini
That's the one that got into an accident a few years ago, right? Amazing to me that it's still in that state, I would've thought the owner would want to expedite the process as much as possible.
Not sure how old this pic is. Pretty sure it's been fixed and car was shown at cavallino and fca events.
Hmm... I think some GTOs had some experimental aerodynamic stuff installed for Le Mans, but this was not a standard. The one in the picture looks like a bit over-exaggerated version seen in some Allegretti replicas. I attach 3705, note also side fairing aimed to create a laminar air stream and steady negative pressure at the rear fender vent. Image Unavailable, Please Login
The GTO has a smooth aluminium shield underneath the fuel tank to protect it from stones etc which also acts as a spoiler which aids air flow to keep the rear on the ground. An early ground effect car.
Numerous variations were seen during the 18-month-period GTO was actively developed, particularly trying the solve the nasty rear lift in high speeds.
