Ferrari 250 TR61 3.0 V12 #18 1962 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari 250 TR61 3.0 V12 #18 1962 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by WERK 83.
The Ferrari 250 TRI/61 #18 entered by North American Racing Team (NART) at the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans was piloted by Peter Ryan and John Fulp. Ryan, a rising Canadian-American driver, made his Le Mans debut that year and teamed with Fulp to tackle one of the most demanding endurance events on the calendar. The car was notable not only for its powerful 3.0 L V12 engine but also because it carried the distinctive NART white and blue livery—symbolic of a U.S.-privateer effort fielding Ferraris in Europe. The 1962 race was unique in that many of the Ferrari factory prototypes were absent or underperforming, elevating privateer efforts like NART’s into a more prominent and challenging spotlight. Unfortunately, the #18 car retired after completing 150 laps due to a crash when Ryan ran off at the Mulsanne section.
