Chassis:
Delivered new to the Doran-Moretti Racing team ahead of the 1998 season, this 333 SP was prepared specifically for that year's American endurance races. Liveried in the ever striking MOMO colours, it was entered in the Daytona 24 Hours for Arie Luyendyk, Didier Theys, Mauro Baldi and Giampiero Moretti himself, who was in the last season of his illustrious career. After a close fight with another 333 SP, chassis 019 won the race. It was the first time in over 30 years that a Ferrari had finished on the podium at Daytona. Theys, Baldi and Moretti then used the 333 SP to also win the Sebring 12 Hours. Chassis 019 was only the third car to win both at Daytona and Sebring in the same season. The highly successful 333 SP was then shipped to Europe where it retired from the Monza 1000 km and then finished third in class at Le Mans. This would be the car's final contemporary outing after which it was completely rebuilt. This, the most successful of all 333 SP racers, has since been owned by prominent American collectors and was also featured in Cavallino Magazine. In more recent years, it joined a fabulous German collection of historic sports racing cars. Celebrating Ferrari's 70th anniversary, it was demonstrated by Emanuele Pirro and Nicolas Minassian during the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
