The 156 was the firstFormula 1 car I ever became aware of. I had a plastic toy of it as a small child. This project must have cost a fortune. Sure, it helps if you have a machine shop with all the right tools but I know how much hand rolling panels costs because I’ve seen it done. Nice job. Really nice.
yeah, too bad about that music, very frustrating... almost as much as mr. ferrari not storing the body and chassis of the original sharknose 😭 what a beautiful restoration, looks wonderful in gendebien’s color!
Fantastic project and built! I'm thrilled to see this car tomorrow at the Classic-GP in Zandvoort! This wonderfull video was a nice preview, and as i alway's say: Forza Ferrari!!!
I know there were none of these cars left after the 1961 season. But i know there are some replicas made. One by the singer Chris Rea for the movie la pasione, and the other day i saw Martin brundell and Damon hill driving a pair of shark nose ferrari's in red color for an special on sky tv. I imagine one of them at least is from the movie. Can you elaborate a little bit on the issue? Regards.
The 1.5 liter era is only looked back favorably in light of the boredom instilled by, well, the last three formulae used in F1. The 1.5 liter cars were sewing machines, and hardly had any impact on any other racing - or street - cars. Other than a few people who tried using BRM 1.5 liter engines in sports cars. Anyone recall how successful those were? That said, the Sharknose was one of those icons-by-accident....Ferrari should have OWNED the World championship for the length of the 1.5 liter formula and should as well have dominated the following 3 liter formula. The fact that they only managed to win one championship in all those years is an indictment of Ferrari mismanagement, sadly. But the sharknose was a beauty. Sad they didn't do the 120 degree one...
@caribman10 . . . I realize this comment is presented 2 years later . . . I heard a plausible reason why Ferrari in F1 back in the 1960s was lackluster: Enzo's focus with racing sports cars, especially with the Championship of Makes for endurance racing. Having his motorsports resources split with two endeavors may have hurt Ferrari with F1 and even with sports cars once Ford got its footing in endurance racing. Looking back to that 1960s era, I find it remarkable that the producers for the movie, _Grand Prix_ was allowed access to the Ferrari F1 operations; especially so since the movie revealed the stumbling issues Ferrari had that kept them from dominating the season.
Some sewing machines!! Wonderful sounding engines and the cars beat the previous lap times set by 2.5 liter machines at every track. Wonderful engine development during this time as well with engines producing upwards of 220 hp from 90 c.i. These were the first years of Honda participation in GP racing. Neat times indeed.
Fantastic car recreation around original drivetrain. The video editing got a bit choppy after 10:00 where more continuous segments would have been better.
What a brilliant car. I'm not much for history, but why is the 65 degree V so popular? I always thought the 120 degree engine was much more unique and interesting. I can't say I can name another vehicle that has a 120 degree engine.
@@nigelchristian5044 Who knows...private collection somewhere. This project would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete. It's only replica anyway...it's not the real thing. Kit car really...
it is not saved but re-created. And Enzo ordered all of them to be distroyed after they rendered non competitive. But he would be proud to see his heritage now, yes. Proven by the invitation to show it in the Ferrari Museum.
It seems like a very expressive indulgence to me. The drive train may be original Ferrari components but the rest of the car, regardless of how well made, is not a Ferrari.
How could the car "return home?" It is a recreation. It is a new car with an old drive-train, and not one derived from a 156. As such, that is a misnomer and romanticizing things too far. As well he is a company director who wrote the checks, and he finally drives the car and he is wearing a pair of winter gloves? Not at least some driving gloves, you know so you can actually feel the wheel?
Wonderful story, well told and beautiful video. Thanks so much!
RIP Phil Hill, Wolfgang von Trips, Richie Ginther & Olivier Gendebien.
Fantastic replica...great job.

当時既に廃棄され現存していないと伺っていましたが、見事なまでに現代に蘇りましたね。しかもバンク角65度エンジンのベルジアン・イエローのナンバー8でスパを滑走！156が1位から4位を独占したレースでした。ブルム1/43の限定ミニカーを眺めながら、フェラーリF1の歴史を調べていた頃が懐かしい。ミニカーの方ではバゲッティのマシンまで、何とまさかの120度エンジンでした。

This is a fabulous video of a great car faithfully recreated. Thanks!
Jim Stokes at his best!! Brilliant man!! My friend!!
One of the prettiest car of all time
Any chance of this vid without the Speilberg sound track.
You mean '2 steps from hell'?
I saw this car this weekend at the Spa 6 hours.
It really looks and sounds fantastic.
Expect a video from me soon.

Fantastic 👍

Beautiful.
beautiful job!
my all time favourite car
Wolfgang von trips would be happy about this!👍
Why is that machinist NOT wearing any eye protection?
Just superb

Speechless, WOW!

Wow great video thanks for sharing!
I've been to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello twice since 2011, but never seen this car. Where is it currently living? Thanks!
I guess Ferrari wouldn't have it in their museum...because it's not a Ferrari. However, it is a fantastic replica of one.
@@themessenger5868 so where is it/are they??
@@nigelchristian5044 Who knows...private collection somewhere. This project would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete. It's only replica anyway...it's not the real thing. Kit car really...
why the silly overpowering disturbing soundtrack?????
Music miles to loud. Muted most of it.
superb work:-))
Love this 🚘
Another One Saved...Enzo Would be Proud!
it is not saved but re-created. And Enzo ordered all of them to be distroyed after they rendered non competitive. But he would be proud to see his heritage now, yes. Proven by the invitation to show it in the Ferrari Museum.
Awfull Music, totaly overdramatized. Pity, such a great project.
absolutely

Steveraxx you have no idea what you are talking about, to the point of being comical!
But surely the body would have been beaten NOT rolled - Itaians never used an English wheel !
music what music.. I was shiting gears..best technical since MOON SHOT... what a great thing you good folks for RACING.. BS
Looks nothing like a shark. In fact, that is a modern moniker. In its day it was called “nostrils” or something equally unappealing.
👌

Who died & made you Pope of Goodwood? State your credentials & experience to rip apart a beautiful racecar...you talk like Trump...
Ruined by the "music"
Should be painted red, it"s a Ferrari.
This particular car was originally run in Belgian Yellow livery & the #8...Many Ferraris, My Boy, ran other colors than red...
Belgian racing colours ❤❤❤❤
