Most of these are replicas raced by the owners of the actual car because they don’t want to damage or thrash the actual car about. Google it, I am telling the truth.
There is no play in the steering, he is just constantly correcting the front wheels and trying to keep the car in a straight line because it's very powerful and cars didn't have much grip in these days so they slide very easily.
I am of the understanding that the 250 series Ferraris competeing in these wonderful events are replicas (a gentlemans agreement exists where if you own a genuine SWB, GTO etc) you can race a replica of said car/cars. I have no problem with this and it makes perfect sense. I must admit however I was a little dissapointed upon hearing this.
Well there are also people that race their original cars, but I can say this GTO is our replica. We don't even own an original GTO and we're very honest about that fact. I don't think it very realistic to think that people race their multi million euro car this hard. However this GTO is still a Ferrari, because she has a Ferrari number.
@@roelofsengineering8552 I will not disagree however it is not the same Ferrari that left Maranello. Like i said It makes sense that a 70 million quid car is not banging fenders with say an E type a corvette or another genuine GTO.
So nice to see cars like this being used as they should rather than sitting in a collection hidden away👏🏼

Does it really get any better than this? Great drive in an amazing machine! Thanks for sharing

How much rpm does the engine use? Sounds rather more inspired than a stock 250 :)
Around 7,500-8,000
All that play in the steering, is that normal on these cars?

@@roelofsengineering8552 If this GTO is a replica what about the engine? Is it the original one?
@@user-wv3mf4yo8o of course not. An original GTO engine would go for millions. And u would need a donor car, which is not gonna happen
@@user-wv3mf4yo8o The car is a replica, but it is still a 1960s Ferrari. The car is built using a 250 GTE as a donor car, as far as I know.
