    great cars. amazing noise on that f 50.

    btw they never raced it because at the time it wasnt feasable for ferrari or so they claim.

    However i beleive at the time of the f-50 production, ferrari's main priority was acheiving some sort of success in their f1 programme. By that time (1995-6) they havent won a title since 1979 & 1983.

    Now there is the fxx. Are they going to race it ?

    The MC12 is the only thing related to the Fxx that will ever see a race track, me thinks.

    I think you are right, plus I think that the FXX doesn't comply with any kind of GT rules, and it would be outclassed as far as prototypes are concerned. Plus the emphasis on the endurance racing programme has been transferred to Alfa Romeo and their 8C racer.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    it's all good, just wanted to make it known...

    fwiw - that F40 has been extensively modified, with ECU, turbo, brake and (most obvious) the wing upgrades... a quasi-LM, if you will...
