 Some beautiful recreations of this car are now campaigned in Europe, but as they have been painstakingly copied they are now hopelessly outpaced by the Maserati's that have been further developed over the years. This is part of a major problem in historic racing, the level to which contemporary technology has to be maintained. It is known for instance that Cooper-Bristols are now capable of producing much faster lap times in the hands of (pseudo)amateur drivers than Mike Hawthorn was able to squeeze out of these cars. I have the impression that ERA's were also never faster as they are now. Hoepfully this will not stop people, who can afford it, to come up with "new" old cars, so that at least we can get impression about how the past must have looked. Compared to the Maserati this particular Lancia-Ferrari is a rather small and looking square, but it is very niece piece of technology. I think however that concept of outward fuel tanks would have been banned as soon as a serious accident would have happened. Please can we have some pictures of the replica's on this site?
