Sports cars is a legitimate way of having a career and he proved that. Twenty or so times an entrant of the Le Mans 24hrs he's won his class four times all with the same manufacturer. He along with David Brabham managed to beat the all-conquering Audis four times in three years to give them their only losses in that period. So he must have done something right.

It won a few races here and there mostly at a domestic level but sponsorship from a North Eastern football club gave it a funny story and a story that not many people know about."

So when Ferrari supposedly said 'nah' to running the Enzo in GT1 the task was given to Maserati instead. With the Quattroporte just coming out and other cars it made sense to build a halo car for the top of the range. It was on Top Gear it did a lap. And was only .1 faster than the Enzo despite"

The Mercedes had power and party mode but the Ferrari was a bit more driveable. When the Ferrari led issues with overtaking in the early part of the 2017-21 regulations meant that Seb could hold on. But after the Hungarian Grand Prix things changed. Mercedes exploited a gap in the rules and were able to get a more powerful engine with the oil burning trick while Ferrari lost power as they couldn't burn as much. All this led to a"

"PORSCHE'S FAILED F1 COMEBACK The Story of the Footwork-Porsche Partnership In [----] Porsche teamed up with McLaren and won three drivers' titles and two constructors' titles in a row. Then it was Honda's turn to dominate with McLaren and Williams. But in [----] Porsche announced they were back with a V12 engine and were going to be supplying the Footwork Team otherwise known as Arrows. But the whole thing was just one big carnage-fest. The engine had to now fit a car that was hastily returned to the drawing board and Jackie Oliver was getting buyer's remorse within minutes of signing the deal."

"THE MERCEDES TYRE COOLING TRICK How Mercedes Fixed Their [----] Overheating Issues In [----] Mercedes almost met their match in Ferrari as the car was absolutely baking its rear tyres through the carcass temperature being too hot and that causing blistering. By the time the Belgian Grand Prix rolled around they'd largely sorted it out by utilising holes in the rim and a shim that sucked air in to the central part of the rim and then that cold air going up into the carcass keeping it cool. It's a very clever idea but Ferrari and potentially Red Bull thought it constituted a moveable aerodynamic"

The Mercedes had power and party mode but the Ferrari was a bit more driveable. When the Ferrari led issues with overtaking in the early part of the 2017-21 regulations meant that Seb could hold on. But after the Hungarian Grand Prix things changed. Mercedes exploited a gap in the rules and were able to get a more powerful engine with the oil burning trick while Ferrari lost power as they couldn't burn as much. All this led to a"
