    It may not matter much, but due to some 'rules and regulations', they were
    popularly named the "Monterey Hysteric automobile races" among racers and fans. :)

    "....Nobody knew where it was" - not correct.
    "....They all speculated for a decade" - only those with lack of knowledge.

    Was reported and we discussed in this thread nearly 2 years ago here. Simon did say that it (5095 GT) had been at the Qatar National Museum for 2 years prior.

    Oh well, it is a cool driving video. Short wheelbase and skinny tires makes for a different feel.

    Zandwoort several years ago before the track was upgraded for F1 and given the banked corner.

    I went round there in January 2013 with vintage racer collector Paul Schouwenburg when we were working on his autobiography Ferrari Fever. He was really hustling his.... Mercedes station wagon(!), really twisty, busy track. We showed up on an inactive day, he knew management and they said sure have fun, very laid back.

    I would have loved to experience the old long course but that ceased to exist many years ago.

    Not to be confused with Piper's low-roofed GTO 4491 GT, 3987 GT has since been restored a couple times and normally lives in Bedford Hills/NY.

    This is precisely the car I want to reproduce with the 1/8 kit I'm talking about here : https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/149578373/
    Currently I'm looking into whether the car was equipped with a seat belt for this race. Does anyone have a photo of the cockpit ?

    Thanks !
