Hi,
    Does any one know why Ferrrari was left out of the description of
the cars in the manual for GPL? I've been wondering about this for
sometime. Was it just an oversight or something else?
Thanks in advance,

The official answer you will get is that Ferrari only granted rights to
Papyrus at the last minute. By then the book had been written. Presumably
Papyrus would have patched Ferrari to become something fictional as they did
with Coventry and Murasama

If the Ferrari wasnt Officially in the sim what do you reckon it would have
been called?

my guess is the Modena
