With the 2024 historic racing season fast approaching, we have today taken a look at three great Ferrari and Maserati competition cars. First up is this Ferrari 333 SP, which was originally sold to the great French privateer Noël del Bello Racing. They did not actually race the car and it was sold to JB Racing instead. Painted in a striking Giesse livery, it was raced successfully, winning a couple of races and the International Sports Racing Series team championship. Among the subsequent owners were Stanislas de Sadeleer and Lawrence Stroll. Now in Swiss hands 023 was demonstrated at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Of slightly later vintage is this Ferrari 360 GT, which was also prepared for racing by Michelotto. It was raced in period by Risi Competizione and finished second overall in the 2003 Daytona 24 Hours. Chassis 2006 is now in Hungarian hands and was campaigned in the Endurance Racing Legends rounds at Mugello and Spa last year.
Starring at the most recent editions of the Goodwood Revival and Monaco Historic Grand Prix was this Maserati 4CLT, which was sold new to future Formula 1 World Champion Giuseppe Farina. The 4CLT is an engineering work of art, sporting a 16-valve four-cylinder engine with eight separate headers. Farina raced 1602 successful and before it was acquired by the current custodian had a single owner for 40 years.
