Yes, of course back in those days mid engine race cars did not need power steering because of their lightweight and didn’t produce enough downforce to make it unbearable to steer without power assist.

Was blessed to have seen , and heard ! these cars at Daytona and Sebring. My dad took us up on the banking outside of the turn where they accelerate out of the infield onto the banking. We were right up against the fence ( you could do that in those days), with Ferrari V-12's, Porsche flat 12's, Porsche flat 8's, Porsche flat 6's, Matra V-12's, Alfa Romeo V-8's, American V-8's....roaring by 3' from us. I was 14 and knew then and there that i was going to be a racecar driver.
Agreed, although I would say cars at Le Mans in the 80s had some great cars. Formula one had great cars all the way through the years until recently where they now sound like washing machines.
This is the only Ferrari that could take on the 917 actually only at some tracks not flat out like LeMans. This was Mario Andretti's favorite Race Car so he said in an interview. Andretti co-won Sebring 12hr 1970 in a 512 . Interestingly Steve McQueen came in 2nd I guess. It's all on RUclips
What are you talking about? The 917 was so stupidly advanced that at Daytona 1970 it beat the 512, which came in third, by more than 48 laps. The reality was that car never had any competition in the two years it was allowed to participate before the regulations were changed to prevent it from continuing to win
Which interview? I think he liked the 1972 FIA WEC winning Group 6 3.0 L 312PB best, if I remember correctly, from the extended interview, of him in the book "Porsche Hunters" which described Ferrari prototypes racing from 1968 - 1973. Mario never raced the 1970/1971 512M, only the 1970 512S. Mario raced the 312P, 512S, 312PB and 712 during those years.
The late 1970/1971 512M was a match for the Porsche 917K, as Penske proved at the 1971 Daytona, Sebring, Le Mans and Watkins Glen races. His privately entered 1971 512M even got up to 2nd at the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans, ahead of 2 of 3 Porsche 917 Longtails. Also upon its debut, at the 1970 Zeltweg 1000KM, the Jacky Ickx/Ignacio Giunt factory Ferrari 512M was running away from the JWA & Salzburg Porsche 917Ks, until electrical issues robbed them of the W. You can see John Wyer even discuss this in the Gulf "Year to Remember video" also on RUclips. In the "Porsche Hunters" book, the author writes that Ing. Caliri was bitterly disappointed the factory did not campaign the 512M in 1971.
@@reallyluckyoaklawn8306 I have read the same in another book. He said the 312 was more like a Formula 1 car...lighter, more maneuverable , that you could toss around. The 512 was bigger, heavier, and i think i read that the caster settings may have made the steering fairly heavy. I was absolutely in love with the 512 and the Porsche 917, as well as all of the endurance cars. Jacky Ickx and the 512 were my favorites I was blessed to have seen them all practice, qualify and race at the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1970 and 1971, as well as Sebring in 1972 when the 312 PB's were driven by Andretti/Ickx/Ronnie Peterson/Brian Redman/Carlos Reuteman/Tim Schenken. Andretti and Ickx co-drove the Ferrari 312P against the 917's in 1971 at Sebring. Vic Elford won in a Martini Porsche 917.
@@xWILZTAx yeah I must admit his inputs were good and professional, now I come to think of it, I wonder if he was driving safe like that on purpose as not to trash a million pound car 🙂
Well, the driver is David Hart, a well-known Dutch historic racer, he usually races the cars with his extremely quick son, Olivier. They had a site, showing their racing stable (most of the cars were actively raced). Better visit it if you want to drool uncontrollably...
The first race meeting I attended was the BOAC 1000km at Brands Hatch in 1969 (or 70?). This was a race between Ferrari 512s, Porsche 917 and Matra V12. There were other quite famous cars, but they were eclipsed by these three. What a race, but the sound, THE SOUND! It was incredible.
Love the video, and the sound of that husky Ferrari engine, and the clutching, gearing up and down. I'm prretty sure the 512 was the car that Mario Andretti raced in the CanAm series back in the 70's. The one race I witnessed, the Ferrari got smoked by the McLarens of Denny Hulme and Bruce McClaren until Bruce wrecked. Those big Chevy V8's in the McClarens were the best sounds I ever heard in a race car.
Andretti raced the 712M in CanAm, an open cockpit version of the 512. It was just as wonderful sounding! And yes, those McLaren's were unbeatable during that era! I saw them dominate at Riverside, and I'll never forget the sound.
At minute 12:15 you can see how the needle of the third indicator from the left collapses to zero just after the third/fourth gear change at the beginning of the main straight. After two minutes the engine dies.... If the driver had seen it, could he have saved it ? EDIT: there is also a warning light that comes on now and then and it seems to me that it says “OIL” underneath it, just near the left side of the steering wheel...
The onboard camera gives you a different perspective of how these vehicles are driven compared to a stationary track camera. Just when the car is at its fastest, the driver needs to put the brakes on. Although the cars seem to drive so slow, they are going fast. The race course seems small even though it isn’t. A slower moving car appears to come at you and people wonder why accidents still happen at the race course.
