On December 10th Mercedes posted a tribute to the great Stirling Moss, who left us on April 12th, last year. Just imagine, to see (and hear!) his fabulous 300 SLR #722 running around the streets of London…
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope Mr. Claus, a ferrarista, fills up everyone’s stockings with nice models! Even for us who (correctly) think a 959 is MUCH cooler than a F40 😁😁😁.

Bob Bondurant and the Ford × Ferrari Wars
Yesterday morning, at 88 years old, Bob Bondurant left us 😥. Undoubtedly one of the greats, up there with Moss, Hill, Gurney and Stewart. In my opinion, his greatest feat was his participation in the so-called Ford × Ferrari Wars. Before Henry Ford II wanted to personally kick Enzo Ferrari’s ass with the GT40, the battle was between the Shelby Daytona Coupe and the Ferrari 250. In the end of the 1965 season, while Ferrari earned 71.3 points, Shelby/Ford took home 90 points, and the title for the 1965 International Championship for GT Manufacturers.
That title only came because of the efforts of Bob Bondurant 🏁.
RIP.
