I wonder how much difference there is between Ferrari factory team engines and Ferrari customer engines.

Accctually I did that one first. Later, I got bumped out of the Ford one due to possibly errant fingers, and having lost the link, didn’t remember for a few hours where I had gotten it.

I just wonder if they are selling the same performance to customers as they build for themselves.

i'm guessing yes... iirc, when M-Benz came out with the split-turbo, 1/2 half on the front and 1/2 on the back of the engine, the customer engines ran a single unit

wasn't till later they released the same set up as they run in the customer engine

so i'm guessing Ferrari does something similar, some kind of de-tuning wouldn't surprise me a bit

wouldn't do for Torro Rosso, etc to beat the the Prancing Horse

Or the USA team....Haas. Euros would have their noses bent sideways at that.

Looking at the H-16 makes my hands ache thinking about trying to work on it.

I know I am on olde farte, but those older GP cars just look so much better. Keeping a GP car on the track after two wheels are on the grass at speed.....

i hear ya, it’s almost as if it working on it was never considered in it’s design

and you could definitely tell when it was anywhere near you
on track

there’s something about the clean lines and simplicity of the 60’s era cars that were truly a thing of beauty

the worst ear shredder i ever heard were the Matra 12’s, i know Ferrari had 12’s too, but the Matras were simply painful at full song/throttle
