Ferrari 312B: Where the Revolution Begins plot
"Where the Revolution Begins"
Can one car alone cause a revolution? When we talk about Formula 1 and Ferrari, the answer can only be yes. And the car is the Ferrari 312B. 1970 was the year that Mauro Forghieri, Ferrari's chief engineer and designer, decided to launch a new car with a powerful revolutionary engine on the track, the legendary horizontally opposed V12 model of the Ferrari 312B. The first 'flat' engine in racing history, originally designed for an American aerospace factory 'to be mounted on the wing of an airplane'. This is how the Ferrari 312B was born, making its debut in 1970 and enabling drivers Jacky Ickx and Clay Regazzoni to win four Grand Prix and compete for the world title until the very end.
