HISTORY

The Ferrari 250 P is a car that participated at the 24 Hours of Le Mans of 1963. The Italian manufacturer after the three consecutive wins was the undisputed ruler of the endurance races. Designed by engineer Mauro Forghieri, the new Maranello car was equipped with a central/rear engine, the first in prototypes.

The Italian Ferrari team with John Surtees and Willy Mairesse at the wheel of the Ferrari 250 P n.23 did not finish the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1963, due to fuel spill after two hundred fifty-two laps. The race was won by Ludovico Scarfiotti and Lorenzo Bandini at the wheel of the Ferrari 250 P n.21, in second place came the Ferrari 250 GTO n.24 of Beurlys and Van Ophem, while in third place finished Mike Parkes and Umberto Maglioli with the Ferrari 250 P n.22.
At the season debut, the Ferrari 250 P won the 12 hours of Sebring with the guide Surtees and Scarfiotti, and at the end of the season the Modenese manufacturer also won the World Sport Prototype Championship.
