The link above is to R&T's Store - they have numerous transporters (all Exoto IIRC) which are pretty high quality.  There's a couple of different F Car transporters.   Most include race cars...

 

As far as Dale's question, there was never much publicity about the transporters and support vehicles used that I recall.  In the 90's, they started using 18 wheelers - a video I saw said Ferrari had 3 for parts,tools & cars along with various RVs for the drivers & managers.  Later, in the 90's and beyond, the teams started bringing along large community centers with AV displays, stuff for sale, history, etc. 

 

Of course, each track has it's own characteristics - when I went to Detroit in '84 the cars were being worked on in the Rennasaince Center (it's not spelled correctly,  sorry) and I never saw any other transports/ carriers.  Will have to go back through my photos so see  if I captured any.

 

IMO the subject of team transporters/service vehicles would make a great a coffee table book.   They must spend a small fortune on paint jobs alone!

 

Good luck with your search.

HI GUYS

              I have seen a few photos of FIAT transporters the FERRARI team used to haul F1 or sports cars to races here and there. EXOTO has a line of 1/43 models of some versions available as do one or two other diecast manufacturrs.

              I was wondering which transporters were appropriate for each era and what type and how many other support vehicles were used? Basically what would FERRARI SEFAC take to a typical race then and now?

              Thanks

               Dale
