@@marcellomarino363 I agree. And modern WEC cars when run on full boost & unrestricted they have 800-1000HP. Due to BOP limitations, they could only race at 680HP and weighs 1050kg. But they're still faster than 70s prototypes due to advanced electronics, handling & aeros.
The music of V12, the old style steering wheel, the manual gearbox with the heel-toe maneuver in downshift, the rev-limiter on the main straight... This is Poetry...
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.
The full spectrum of old-school motor racing in one video. The all-consuming, deep-chested soundtrack. The 5-speed manual gearbox. The sawing at the wheel of what is likely a heavy, unassisted steering system. And then......old-school reliability!
How can a car look this good? Truely work of arts... old race cars must be the most fun, dangerous and entertaining ones to drive. no assists, just raw power, sound, smell and adrenaline. just listen and watch this slide at 1:32 and 9:50!! Look how they have to battle the cars around the track!! i wish i had the chance to drive an old monster like this at some point in my life. i bet this would instantly help me grow a full chest of hair !
This is what real race cars SHOULD be! Manual transmission, no power steering, no assists, just driver and car. Ever since Ferrari's introduction of the semi automatic transmission into Formula 1 in 1989, that's when motorsport took a downwards spiral. These days, race cars are so easy to drive, that as shown by the rise of sim racing, even a regular idiot can drive one. That's not what race cars are supposed to be... A real race car should be impossible to drive for an average joe, where the driver must constantly wrestle with it to get the most out of it. Race cars these days have too much downforce, the invention of better tire compounds might have improved road safety, but it has ruined motorsport. BRING BACK BIAS PLY RACING TIRES.
Everyone seems to be playing. This guy is running balls out. The car doesn’t seem really fast until he catches one running one third his speed and you realize the slow guy in probably flying. Nice footage mate!!
Jeez, he breezes past the GT40s and RSR like they're not there. He's got so much pull in every gear he doesn't even need to change - he's just using them for fun! This is joyous!
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.
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.
@@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 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.

That steering-wheel is Brutal. Is this set up properly ? It make Every turn look hexagonal. It looks like a guy in suit of armour falling down the stone stairs.
AHHH. the 'good 'Ole days'. things like turbines at Indy. chaparrals with fans. before the insurance companies took over. chicanes at LeMans. at the NASCAR Daytona 500 - bill Elliott still holds the fastest lap - from 1986.
What an incredible car, and incredible video. The external takes were perfect to show the speed of a dedicated race car, I wish F1 would adopt some of these angles. Especially starting from 1:25, up to that slide at 1:32 as others have remarked. Perfect 🤌.
Mugello is too small for this behemoth of a racing car. Very few opportunities to go full throttle. I guess the 512 M has it´s advantages on long straights where it can benefit from the massive power and torque. Might be better suited for Spa or Monza. And Le Mans of course.
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...
This car would have been built for 1970 as a 512S then for 1971 512M update kits were sold to owners making them 1971 Ferrari 512M. The factory never built a complete 512M .

Here before this video utterly breaks the internet.
No oil pressure for last 45 seconds or so. Rod knock then siezed. That has to be a 6 figure rebuild easily.
Amazing footage! Thank you for sharing!
Quanti ricordi , BELLISSIMA ! Complimenti come sempre per il video . Dd
I don't have words to describe this. 😍
i thought porn wasn not allowed to be uploaded on youtube... THANKS FOR SHARING!
Amazing dream machine!!
I’m such a huge fan of Ferraris. This is gold 🤤.
Nailed it! Perfect driving!!
Amazing video!!

So fast!! Heavenly! Absolutely mesmerising! Thankyou!🎉
can we just appreciate how much he was pushing?
Fantastic, except the failure of course
In the words of Tullio Campagnolo "To finish first , first you must finish" . In automobiles , IMO , the greatest luxury is reliability .

At 12:18 when he shifts I think you see the oil pressure drop to zero
Yep
So you think he blew up the engine?

...The Stig.....😁
What's the Rattling?? I've seen in-car of the of the 512m before, but Never the RATTLING... So..
Mugello is too small for this behemoth of a racing car. Very few opportunities to go full throttle. I guess the 512 M has it´s advantages on long straights where it can benefit from the massive power and torque. Might be better suited for Spa or Monza. And Le Mans of course.
I wanna see a Porsche 917 being driven this hard. Probably won't happen though it's worth 4 times as much as this Ferrari
One of my favorite and best looking race cars of all time. Ferrari killed it. 250 GTO, 333 P4, 512 M, 333 SP
Che auto fantastica ❤
Grazie al proprietario ed al pilota che ci fanno il regalo di poterle ammirare full gas 👍
I fell in love with the 512M in Steve McQueen's Lemans movie. I think that's when I fell in love with Ferraris then too!
I bet he wishes he'd gone for a longer top gear ratio! Hopefully that's not what led to the engine giving up...
I just paused it at 6:38 to look at the comments. Shouldn't that car be a 5 speed? Looks like he's only using 4 as best i can tell. #couldbewrong
Idles like a kitten, but it's anything but that...
Why is the gearshift on the right -- is there any particular reason? :0)
Theres nothing passing him 😳😳😳
Auto rara e preziosa d'accordo però va proprio a passeggio
I don't know who was driving, really good at controlling a 1970 car without any electronic controls❤❤❤
so what was the issue at the end. was it an ignition problem?
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....

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...
Why was it built right Hand drive?
sad end- maybe take it a bit easer next time? or not
Did it ever raced CanAm?
What's means this tac tac sound in deceleration phase?
Fabulous noise. Great that there isn't too many armchair world champs or wanabee Ferrari engineers in the comments section as well.
big end bearing let go?
Chi era il pilota? Dai colori del casco sembrava Ivan.....
Sounds expensive 😢

What a horrible sound at the end. What happened?
