    The idea for the F40 was born after the demise of the Ferrari GTO 288 racing project cars after the Group B races ended due to fatal accidents and changes in safety regulations, and the remaining engine parts were irresistible. (to enter the group B event you have to build 200 production cars) Not hard to understand why the whole F40 concept and design come together so fast and the craft so raw ! (Because the old man "Enzo" is losing money if they don't come up with something)

    What on earth did you smoke dude? 1:30 ?! „The cars could race up to 24 hours without stopping“ I didn’t even knew that there where Group C cars that ran with a nuclear reactor! I watched many of those races and saw those cars live and I also didn’t see any plane flying over the track for an air fueling maneuver, I must’ve fell asleep in my tent at the Nordschleife at that specific time! Common dude if you’re trying to make little ChatGPT generated AI videos to make some bucks, at least know *SOMETHING* about cars, their history and how they basically function.. You don’t have to know every little detail, that’s for mechanics and engineers to figure out, but a rough overview of every component and what it does is necessary. Otherwise, just do some gaming stuff and if you like cars but have no clue concentrate on stuff like Gran Turismo so you can combine some things without completely messing up and making s complete fool out of yourself.
