And also not quite as fast. Besides the F1 GT has racing pedigree. F50 GT?.. Stillborn...

yeah but as you may or may not have noticed throughout these forums, im not a big fan of ferrari, or porsche... due to the political pull they have in the racing world. rules and regulation changes always seem to be made when either ferrari or porsche cant win and they start whining because they are getting their asses handed to them. when was the last time you heard mclaren whining when they were doing shitty?

Bucialli PMd me as he was headed to bed to let me know that the user F48Koenig had posted this gem over on SCF.com today:



It may be a small photo, but I know I said "Wow" when I saw it...

His caption reads: "Pics of the workshop of Iding Power, a Japanese Tuner, with some enzo's up and on the lift, and a darkgray F1 under the lift."

This looks to me like it can only be the Tag Heuer F1 - which if I have not mentioned in this thread - is suspected by me of being chassis #012.

This is the first new photo I have seen of this car in over a year, and the existence of the Enzo in that shot serves to show that it's a fairly recent one. The car does look a bit dusty and it appears to me that all the stickers have been removed. Hopefully more pics or info will turn up soon.

Iding Power is a Japanese tuner of Ferraris and BMWs. Look up the Iding Power F365 and you should find some photos/info on them.

The book "Driving Ambition" - probably the greatest and most accurate source of information on the history and development of the F1, aside, of course, from our own "Brains Trust" here - has a pull-out supplement which lists every car produced, their respective V.I.N. numbers and the exterior body colour when produced (many were subsequently resprayed when they were sold on).

However, for obvious confidentiality issues, it doesn't list the locations of the cars.
