Ferrari 250 GTO, 1962 by Scalextric (SCAC2970)

The Ferrari 250 GTO car debuted at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1962, driven by the team of American Phil Hill (the reigning Formula One Drivers Champion) and Belgian Olivier Gendebien. The experienced pair impressed by finishing 2nd overall behind the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa of Bonnier and Bianchi.

The success was not a fluke; the 250 GTO was an exceptionally capable racing car. At the time of its introduction it was most likely the straight-line fastest car on any race track; more subtly, but perhaps more important, it had no bad habits or nasty tricks in its wide performance envelope. In the best Ferrari tradition, it made normal drivers look excellent and gave great drivers an unsurpassable advantage. In the end, the GTO won the World Manufacturer's Championship three years in a row: 1962, 1963, and 1964.
