F E R R A R I 312 PB H I S T O R Y :

In 1970, a change in the regulations for sportscar racing for 1972 was announced. This effectively closed the door on the big boys such as the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512. With this news, Ferrari immediately put all their efforts into the development of the 312 PB, which utilized the new 3.0 Liter 180 degree flat-12 boxer.

Only eleven 312 PB cars were built between 1971 and 1973...

Team Ferrari used the 1971 race year as a testing ground for the 312 PB, achieving moderate successes in the World Sports Car Championship. Then, in 1972, Ferrari launched an all-out attack on its rivals, dominating the circuit, and winning every race it entered!
