I remember being at the Monterey Historics one year where they had one race group that was nothing but Ferrari 250GTO’s - about a dozen or so of them if memory serves. Which is pretty impressive, considering there were only about forty of them ever built!

Not to mention there were three GTO’s at the Historics this past year. I know the car was built to be a racer - I’ve seen one up close and there is absolutely nothing in a GTO’s interior that doesn’t have to be there - but I don’t know if I can stomach the idea of racing in a car worth eight figures.

I think 39 GTOs were made. Saw some show recently and a guy was racing one. Says his insurance doesn’t cover racing. 50 million dollar car and racing it without insurance. !

That’s awesome you get to see them in action. I’d love to go to that Monterey car week one year. Just need the $$....

Yello had a song about racing too (The Race)

While they had cheap videos, they made a bunch of them (over a dozen different ones)
