HISTORY

The Ferrari 312 T4 is a car that participated at the Formula 1 World Championship in 1979. After the domination in 1978 of the Lotus 79 with its ground effect, all the opponents tried to copy this solution. Engineer Mauro Forghieri designed the new Ferrari trying to get a good ground effect, but the size of the V12 engine made it difficult. At the same time the engine proved to be the most powerful in the season.

Gilles Villeneuve with the Ferrari 312 T4 n.12 finished second in the Formula 1 World Championship in 1979, with three victories in season. The season was an all Ferrari duel between Scheckter and team-mate Gilles Villeneuve. The Canadian driver won the South Africa GP, USA West GP and USA East GP. Ferrari also won the constructors title.
