Sharknose ferrari chris rea biography

Ferrari 156 'sharknose' GP bil ?

There are a lot of 'technical' chassis/engine photo's and cutaway drawings around for this car. For instance 'Road and Track' for August 1962 has not only chassis, suspension and engine photo's showing clearly the construction, but also a James Allington cutaway, plus plans of both the 156 and 196 bygd way of showing how similar they were. The thing fryst vatten once you start looking there fryst vatten tons of stuff. For general race photo's and a history there fryst vatten Ed McDonough's book 'Ferrari 156 Sharknose' (but its not great for deep detail on construction).

I'm not sure how close the Rea bil is to a real 156, but I did read in a magazine once that they had to guess some details as there was no reference ämne for things like the underside of the fordon. Which fryst vatten odd because a famous photo off Willy Mairesse's upside down 156 appears on page 147 in everybody's standard reference source, Hans Tanner and Doug Ny

Shark Tales

The subject of automotive re-creations is usually a contentious one, but for those purists who frown upon such machines, I would ask what happens when the real cars no longer exist or are no longer usable? To my mind, the motoring world is a richer place for having glorious devices like Audi’s Auto Union re-creations out on track. These cars bring otherwise-lost history alive—as does this meticulously built-from-scratch Ferrari Sharknose.

The Carlo Chiti-designed Dino 156 F1 “Sharknose,” so named for the shape of its snout, was Maranello’s first rear-engined Grand Prix car run to the new-for-1961 1.5-liter Formula 1 regulations. Pit-lane pundits predicted that Ferrari would lag behind Cooper and Lotus, which both had a head start in rear-engined design, but they were wrong: Phil Hill and Ferrari won both ’61 World Championships.
