  • Phil Hill on the Iconic Ferrari 250 GTO "Why Are We Driving This Damn Coupe?"
    Article from Road and Track: https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/news/a18029/ferrari-gto- history/ Phil Hill on the Iconic Ferrari 250 GTO "Why are we driving this damn coupe?" By Phil Hill Apr 20, 2017 In honor of what would be his 90th birthday, we're republishing this story, from the January 2000 issue of Road & Track, by the legendary Phil Hill. Many of you probably know Hill as a brilliant racer, notably the only American-born F1 champ, but he also wrote a number of eloquent, insightful articles for R&T, like this on the Ferrari 250 GTO. Enjoy. – Ed. When Olivier Gendebien and I were assigned to drive the new Ferrari GTO at Sebring in 1962, we were somewhat offended. Stirling Moss, Innes Ireland, the Rodriguez brothers, and other drivers were in sports prototypes, aiming for an overall win, and we wondered if there was a conspiracy against us. "Why are we driving this damn coupe?" There was an excellent reason Olivier and I were in the GTO. The Manufacturers' World Championship for 1962 was based on points scored by Grand Touring cars. Sports cars were now called prototypes, and while Stirling, Innes, and the others were running for the glory of the overall win, we were chasing points for the championship ... and earned the maximum by winning the GT class and finishing 2nd overall. As it turned out, the GTO was a delight to drive. That's probably because the emphasis put on the GTs to win the championship meant there was extra effort put into this car, so the GTO was a giant step beyond the Grand Touring cars built up to that point.
