REVIEW Ferrari D50 CMC | 1956
The German diecast model producer wishes to offer to the collectors as much significant models of the car racing history of the 50s. Just after the launch of the Lancia D50, the car used by the Scuderia Lancia in 1955 Formula 1 season, CMC launches, as was natural, the 1956 F1 Ferrari D50 model.
It’s a little bit complicated to explain that, but most of the weight between axles; double ignition; external of the dedicated diecast car collectors have a long fuel tanks. But an end of a story could be a beginning term relationship with high-end models producers. for another one. The takeover of the Scuderia Lancia by That’s because these producers don’t launch new Scuderia Ferrari in 1955 meant also the taking over of models that often, and the new issues are the 6 Lancia D50 cars.

But if you have a lot of patience (and enough money), you can build in time a whole racing team at home. Particulary if we talk about the Ferrari brand, CMC has in its portfolio an extended range of racing cars, from 250 Testa Rossa to 250 GT, or from 250 GTO to 500 F2 and 312 P. The list of Ferrari models created by CMC started more than 12 years ago and now, this list is filled now with another great issue, the Ferrari D50.
It’s an interesting begining for the story of the real car, because D50 is not an original Ferrari, but rather a Lancia in disguise. We wrote here about the epic story of Lancia compete in Formula 1, no longer that a season and few months, a story which ended The monoposts were renamed Ferrari-Lancia D50 and miniauto.ro miniauto.ro tragically with the dead of Ascari pilot and the they continued to compete in the next races of the bankrupcy of the Lancia brand. Lancia D50, a creation season. However the Mercedes Benz pilot Juan Manuel of the Hungarian origin engineer Vittorio Jano, Fangio could not be stoped from his road to a new brought some important innovations in the F1 world title, despite the tragedy that shadowed the competition: the engine block sloped 12 degrees fame of the German brand. In June 1955 at Le Mans, in with respect to longitudinal axis, which allowed the the middle of the race a horibble accident has thrown accomodation of the transmission shaft through the in the stands a Mercedes car, and several dozen people pilot compartment; the engine block stressed with have been killed. The awful event led to the Mercedes the chassis; the gearbox placed behind the cockpit, withdrawal from all motor sports competitions at the just in front of the rear axle, for a better distribution end of the year.
