Some of the finest grand prix racers are in action on the Goodwood hill this weekend:
Ferrari F60
The F60 was Ferrari’s 2009 challenger, named in recognition of the Italian firm’s 60th year competing in F1. Kimi Raikkonen claimed a single win in the car in that year’s Belgian Grand Prix
Ferrari 126 C4/M2
The final iteration of the 126C series of F1 racers, the 1984 C4/M2 only claimed a single victory – although it was a cathartic one. Michele Alboreto won at Zolder, the circuit where Gilles Villeneuve had been killed two years earlier. While its turbocharged engine produced around 850bhp, the 126 C4 lacked downforce and grip compared to that year’s dominant McLaren.
Ferrari 312 B3
The original Ferrari 312 B3 was a short wheelbase machine with a full width nose, but after it struggled in testing the project was canned. This version was introduced in 1973 but was initially uncompetitive. Development work for 1974 made it a much improved proposition, and Niki Lauda claimed his first victory for Ferrari using the 312 B3 at that year’s Spanish Grand Prix.
Ferrari 126 C4
Daniel Rollinger had the honour of driving the Ferrari 126 C4 up the Goodwood hill.
Modern F1 car steering wheels are complex bits of kit. We presume one of these buttons operates the infotainment system.
