From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari... In 1979, a significant amount of progress was made in aerodynamics and to challenge Lotus, Forghieri realised he had to follow their lead and design a ground effect car for 1979. The 312T4, introduced at the 1979 South African Grand Prix was closely based on the 312T3. Its origins placed restrictions on the aerodynamic design since the T series had never been designed with ground effect in mind. The 312T4 monocoque was designed to be as narrow as possible, to take advantage of ground effects, but this was limited by the width of the flat 12 engine, which partially sat in the area where the upswept underside should have been, therefore the 312T4 was more of a wing car similar to the Lotus 78. The car was extremely reliable, recording only one retirement for mechanical reasons and it won 6 races in 1979, three each for Villeneuve and Scheckter. Other solid placings helped Ferrari win its fourth Constructors' Championship in 5 seasons and Scheckter his only Drivers' Championship. Scheckter was given the 312T4 car he drove to his championship after the new 312T5 was ready to be debuted in Argentina in 1980. He ran it at the 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix weekend to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Formula One, along with every living Formula One world champion except for Nelson Piquet and Kimi Räikkönen,[12] and again at the 2019 Italian Grand Prix to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of his title triumph there, and then sold it at auction in 2024. #Scalemodel #scalemodelling #Kit #ICM #Kit #Reviews #Plastic #Scale #Model #Models #AMT #Tamiya #TamiyaUSA #Revell #MPC #Academy #Italeri #Tank #Armor #Aoshima #Hobbyboss #Modelroundup #Tool #Tools #tested #scalemodels #Scale_model #hobby #hobbies #adamsavage #2025 #model #models #modelling #scale #modeling #weathering #howto #diy #create #make #STEM #future #floor #polish #tutorial #decal #decals #waterslide #automobile #fomoco #moebius #modelkit #kit #rust #rusty #rusted #rustoleum #custom #scalemodel #Reviews #Plastic #Scale #Model #Models #scalemodels #scalemodels #Scale_model #hobby #hobbies #model #models #modelling #scale #modeling #ferrari #312t4 #modelfactoryhiro #mfh
