Ferrari Mailing List: Re: HOnda quits F-1 Next year

[JAshburne (JAshburne]

Well Formula 1 racing dates only back to 1950, so IF Indy was a "Grand  Prix" 
and IF the Maserati was on Goodyear tires, it WAS NOT a Formula 1  race!  HA!
 
Now here are some snippets of Goodyear's history from their own  website:
 
 
1964 Craig Breedlove set speed record at Bonneville Salt  Flats, 526.28 mph 
in a jet-powered Spirit of America equipped with Goodyear  tires....Goodyear 
entered international  racing field for first time....New Italian plant 
started. 
1965 Craig Breedlove broke speed record at Bonneville Salt  Flats at a speed 
of 600.601 mph on Goodyear tires....In less than two years after entering  
international racing competition, Goodyear won the 24 Hours of Le Mans,  
France.. 
1967.A.J. Foyt rode to victory at the Indianapolis 500, and  Dennis Hulme won 
the 1967 World Driving  Championship, both on Goodyear tires 
So while this doesn't answer the question definitely of what year  did a 
Goodyear shod car first win a Formula 1 race, this seems to place it  sometime 
between 1964 and 1967, so maybe my guess of 1967 wasn't so far off  after all. 
What does everyone else  have?

Yea, it  was. Alberto Ascari and Ferrari were the only ones to give Indy a 
shot. I  think it was in 1952. Either he didn't qualify or was out early in the 
race. A  maserati won in 1939, driven (i Think) by Maury Rose. It was called 
the Boyle  Secial and had shamrocks painted on the sides. Green on a 1930's 
American race  car? Unheard of!

Does anyone remember 'The Race of Two Worlds" held at  Monza in 1957? It used 
the infamous banking that we saw in the film Grand  Prix. Jimmy Bryan won 
that one. Moss in a Maserati, the D Type Jaguars and a  lone Ferrari were also 
entered. Luigi Musso was the fastest of the Europeans,  but the car DNF'd. Moss 
took a wicked spin on the banking when a tyre blew,  but as unhurt. I've seen 
films of it. Frightening!

Wasn't  Indy on the F1 calender from 1950-60? So it was in the  30s?

It's got to be an Indy  500 race when it was on the F1 schedule...

1960???

After following F1 Racing  since 1956, there's one thing that I've learned. 
Teams 
ome, and teams go,  and the world (and racing) still goes on.
Anyone remember Lancia, Maserati,  Lotus, Cooper, BRM, and the rest. It'll be 
usiness as usual next year,  with or without Honda. The only constant is our 
eloved Ferrari!
BTW, I  won a trivia contest one time. The question was: What year did 
Goodyear  
in it's first Fi victory? Although being 'under the weather' that night,  (it 
ust have been something I drank) I correctly named the year, race and  
driver. 
o Figure. . . 
Anybody out there got the answer(s)?
Yer  trivia buff, Ferrari Bubba

I guess the real  question is; Does this mean that they are just not running 
a 
orks' team or  does it mean that they will also no l
onger be an engine 
pplier?   Or both?
