Re: Ferrari F12 Berlinetta / 599 GTO Successor

Wonder how many F12TdF we will see crashing like this LaFerrari.
It is impossible to effectively put down all that power driving only 2 rear wheels. The LaFerrari crashed in the dry too, imagine if it was raining.

This driver is not so capable 
He could not even stabilize the car at this low speed after such a minor oversteer... He would have crashed in far less powerful cars too. High-performance cars are not made for everybody who can pay for them 
Re: Ferrari F12 Berlinetta / 599 GTO Successor
Finally - some decent shots that actually reflect how the car looks in person. Its low, wide, and mean. The back is a challenge to photograph - just like the original F12 which always looked terrible in many angles at the back - but if you see one on the road it looks much better as I was reminded just the other day when I followed one for a while. Having said all that, the carbon housing around the exhausts on the F12tdf is never going to look good.

he was probably in 'all off'. even in RACE my 458 would not have the rear step out more than 50cm. same with the speciale. a laferrari is certainly much more powerful but i believe the electronics would take care of this if turned on.

Re: Ferrari F12 Berlinetta / 599 GTO Successor
Electronics won't help when he is in such a confined space. There is no room to recover the car.
When I was at Paul Ricard, we were driving the 918 with everything on, yet I can still manage to spin the car 270, then another 180 and one more time around 90-100 degrees.
These mid engine cars are so powerful that if the car is not pointing straight ahead when the throttle is pinned, the rear will let go.

btw, how is this with the RS?
cheers peter
Re: Ferrari F12 Berlinetta / 599 GTO Successor
RS is great, it pretty much drives like a normal 911, power your way out of slides are easy. The electronics have a lot of leeway before interfering.
It is not as snappy as the 918, the rear steps out lazily leaving lots of time to save it.

Re: Ferrari F12 Berlinetta / 599 GTO Successor
What's interesting is that Ferrari took off the 'expansion' chamber on the intake for the TdF. They had said before that chamber was one of the reason for the HP bump on the F12 over the FF. Now they took it off and make even more power.
