Ferrari 312/67
36-valve V-12
’67 Monaco/Dutch/Belgian GP
In 1966 season F1 regulations changed to allow naturally aspirated 3.0L engine. 1.5L turbo engines were also allowed, but no team used them untill Renault in late 70's. Ferrari made first 312/66 (312=3-litre, 12-cylinder) engine car for 1966 season, but the engine was rather heavy and low on power and especially on torque.
For start of 1967 season Ferrari made 312/67 version which had less weight (around 548 kg) and was one of the lightest car of the grid in 1967. Compared to last year car the car had some improvements. Chassis was around 50kg lighter and it had more horsepower and torque. Compared to other cars in 1967, it was still one of the less powered cars on grid and had lower torque than the competition.
This rF2 version is simulating the car in all good and bad way very accurately. Compared to BT20, the car is noticeable more powerful (about 90 bhp more) than BT20, but the handling isn’t the most precise. Cars chassis is bit rear heavy (40 kg heavier engine than in BT20), and the car don’t use engine as stressed member. Fuel tank is located at front, so notice that heavy fuel load will change car balance more to front.
This car is based on early Ferrari 312/67 which was 36-valve V-12 engine. Later of that year at Monza there was also version with more powerful 48-valve V-12 engine (about 410 bhp @ 10500 rpm)
HAPPY SIM RACING!
