During the 1966 1000 km di Monza race, #08249 was hit
badly by another car and lost precious minutes to try to fix it to keep
racing, possibly costing Pessina and Botalla the first place in class.
Pessina entered a complaint to the racing Federation against the other
driver, and since the other car was also a 275 GTB the racing federation
wrote the chassis number of each car in their report (*). Proof, Pessina
was racing #08249 that day, and no other 275 GTB. |
Lorenzo Bandini and Giovanni Pessina discussing the overheating of # 8249. Only solution is to open the nose with a pair of clippers liked it was done the year before on # 6885. |
| (**)
The picture of #8249 can be seen on page 100 in the book of
jess g.Pourret " Ferrari 275 GTB,GTS " the nose has been cut just like the
Ferrari 275 GTB # 6885 on page 99 and for the same reason:overheating
because of to much power,even under the torrential rain during Monza 1966
