Unseen Ferrari F1 Original Technical Drawings

Fantastic stuff!

Again, thanks for sharing.

The ones you've posted so far are all related to the "active suspension" system.

Which we all know Ferrari played a large part in getting banned.

I wonder if "your" farmhouse was a subcontractors (Scalabroni's?) home?

No matter, please keep 'em coming!
Cheers,
Ian

 

What if the garage has one of these F1 legends in it?! Who needs a house if you have a garage like that!

 

Fantastic! Amazing to see the freehand drafting and development sketches!
Active suspension?
Answer my own question by looking... YES!

 

This is amazing!! One of my favourite Ferrari F1 car.

 

Um - these are AWESOME! Thank you for sharing! Any prints of these for sale, or higher resolution which could be printed and framed?

 

Just a note to mention that the car pictured in the first post is 643, aka "the truck". Drawings show 641/2 and 642.

Seems to me the designer was using large scale drawings - which, as i noted, are like a split plan view of 641/2 and 642 - to do a layout for active suspension installation.

Recall that active suspension on the Ferrari didn't happen until Barnard's return with the 1993 car.

 

I just printed the first one onto (letter size) "photo paper", & it looks pretty good!

I'm thinking of scaling a few down & "stitching" a collage together. Would make for an "interesting" read in the bathroom!

FWIW, I just re-watched a Scalabroni YT, and don't think the handwriting in the OP is his.

Way cool find in any event; Please keep 'em coming! Pironi's logbook? Yes please!

Cheers,
Ian

 

A pretty cool "linked hydraulic system" is what we're looking at; We'd have been killed for seeing it ~25 years back!

I guess they'd do it electronically today, but back then you'd better get those valve sizes right!

Thank you for sharing these architectural drawings. Amazing how intricate and precise the draftsmen of the day worked.

 

Blasphemous? Maybe so, but it reminds me of the Shroud...
I love it.

 

You could have it scanned and a high quality copy made that would not fade - could put that on the wall and keep the original safe

 

Thanks for the advice; will pickup some good paper today and give it a try. I love drawings like this in my office or bench in the garage.

 

Very nice! You didn't find this with the Ferrari blueprints did you?

Cheers,
Ian

 

Gotcha.

Although, I'd have to call it a little more than "slightly rockety"! [Remains the most powerful engine ever produced I believe?]

Now, about Pironi's logbook.......

Cheers,
Ian

 

If you mean scan and print there certainly are - I have had to scan similarly sized plans and many places do it

 

+1

You probably don't want to use the place in Cobham (Chobham?) that Coughlan's wife used though!



Cheers,
Ian
PS - The copies are also very often 'better' than the originals too IME.

 

Wow...i can;t even draw a friggin tree...

 

True.

Incorrect, ideas still start of as a sketch, then turned into reality via CAD, etc.

BTW everybody the large and shock/actuator (?) drawings are NOT hand drawings. They are CAD drawings that in some cases have been printed and then somebody has sketched some rough ideas on a print.

I was a draughtsman back in the 90's and everybody was using CAD, even in little old New Zealand.

It is a well known fact in the automotive/aerospace/(you name it) industry that ex-employees like to bring "souvenirs" to home when they leave the company...
