The turbo engine Forghieri designed was a peach, i’d like to read some more about it. Do you know if Forghieri’s book is available in English, I’ll have to find a copy if it is.
Going to the Ferrari exhibition on Friday by the way, I’ll let you know what it’s like 👍

Very good also the recollections by Dan Gurney. Overall quite impressed by the publication. Yes, me to. Haven’t read everything yet but what I have has been excellent.

Have any of you gents ever read Automobilsport at all? If so I'd be interested in your opinion, I'd never seen or heard of this publication until I spotted it in a large W H Smiths store a few days ago and, so far at least, its proving an excellent read. Its a German publication and very much about the history of racing, no modern stuff at all with some very interesting articles including one about Laura Ferrari which I found particularly enlightening. Its a quarterly and in 'bookazine' format so very collectable.....I'm thinking of a subscription if this is anything to go by. Well worth a flick through if you can find it, I wish I could scan it for you all as a sample. Amazing find Jamie! I'm considering whether to subscribe. Well done! Here's Niki Lauda at his first Ferrari Formula One test, downloaded from the website, with a few well known additional attendees, in the very location we've all studied recently. Cheers, Carl

The picture is a bit small, but we can recognize Regazzoni, Forghieri, Franco Gozzi (the one on the left of Enzo Ferrari), Ferrari and Ermanno Cuoghi with the arm half raised. I recognize but don't recall the name of the gentlemen behind Forghieri.
It seems it is the 312T without the white livery, probably one of the first tests if not the very first, the car where more than five years of studies and development came finally to fruition, as Ludvigsen explains in his article.

I'd love to have the Can-Am 1969 back issue, but the website claims an inability to ship by standard mail and asks almost $20 for uninsured shipping by parcel delivery service, twice what I would pay on a speculative basis even for excellence.

That’s a bit much Carl isn’t it. Have a look on eBay, there is a guy in France selling one and the eBay international postage thingy might be ok???

Thanks Jamie, I went ahead and took a chance with the magazine website. If it's really impressive, I may inquire about more reasonable shipping charges. Hopefully, the back issue compares well with Pete Lyons' Can-Am book, which I hope you've enjoyed reading! Cheers, Carl

I hope you enjoy it Carl 👍
I haven't started the Pete Lyons book yet as I've got a couple of others on the go first but I've dipped in and out and its an impressive piece of work.

I got two copies last weekend as a present from my wife (the last issue and issue #10 on the mid engined Ferrari's) and I must say they are beautiful magazines. Great pictures but also a very nice layout and print quality! Thanks again for the tip!

You've got some nice reading to do Jamie. They also have this nice poster in every mag. And I see you cracked the post picture code!

Well done, Lucio! I recognized only four to your seven (including Lauda). The caption in Automobilsport identifies it as Niki Lauda's first test drive, but does not specify about the 312T testing schedule. Cheers, Carl
