The GPL book makes no mention of the Ferrari, what are the details of the
cars, they sound awesome but are a handful to drive, I don't know what kind
of tires they used, but it seems to take seversl laps (at least) to warm
them to the point where they will grip.

At the time the GPL manual went in printing, Ferrari Scuderia wasn't
licensed for Grand Prix Legends, so Steve had to take off all mention of it
in the book.

Still, at this website :

Steve Smith (the author of the strategy book) has wrote an addendum to the
book at this website. Oh and be sure to check out the rest of Alison's

After reading Brock Yates book on Enzo Ferrari, One thing kinda suck out.
His engines made big hp, but sometimes his chassis left a lot to be desired
handling wise. Also Enzo has been quoted as saying people who needs
Areodynamics can not build a proper motor.

All tyres of that are took some miles of hard driving to warm up. The
*** compound was significantly different to the compounds used
now...much harder and longer-wearing, which meant more work was needed
to get them warm. Remember also that they were all treaded....no
slicks. It was common for one set of tyres to be used not only for
practice but also the race.
