Re: Ferrari P4/5 Competizione Confirmed
I hope some automotive car journalist will write a biography of you and how you got to get the P4/5 and another one for a build project to race!! This is just epic and i am out of words. Thanks for the pictures so far 
All the best, and top shelf

Napolis:
Another 100 miles and she's back resting with her other Sisters.
I see the rigging on those platforms? Do they pull the cars up so you can fit more cars on the floor space underneath?
If so, very very cool!

Your P4/5 is still out of this world!
Re: Ferrari P4/5 Competizione Confirmed
Basically P 4/5 was designed using CAD. All of her design is stored Mathematically. We'll begin by stripping the Scuderia down modifying her suspension/engine/gearbox /chassis to GT2 Race specifications add a roll cage and then establishing her new hard points.
We'll then take the P 4/5 Data and crunch it into the new measurements and once we're happy we'll use the new Mathematics to build her CF molds and body.

Sounds fantastic. Interested to know why you chose a Scuderia over say a F430 GT2 or GT3 race car or even a FXX which I would've thought would have fit in perfectly with the road version of the P 4/5 being based on the Enzo?
The Scud is street legal and can be reconverted to street legal standard when it's done with its racing career. GT2 and FXX cannot. Not to mention, F was pretty stingy with what you can and can't do with the FXX. I doubt they'd ever let one be race campaigned outside of the FXX series.

OK, didn't realise being road registerable was a requirement. Would've thought using another Enzo would have been the go, although probably too hard to make into a race car with lack of parts etc.
Not 100% sure on the being road registerable part as a requirement for racing, but I do know it was one of the thing Napolis wanted on an individual basis.
The Enzo would not really make a suitable privateer effort racer. Getting your hands on a "spare" Enzo is both cost prohibitive (>$1MM vs $250K Scud) and it has (to my knowledge) no race parts and race development behind it.

Re: Ferrari P4/5 Competizione Confirmed
The Enzo has a Carbon Fiber Tub which is not legal at the 24 of Nurburgring and a V12 would get poor fuel mileage which wouldn't work at the Ring either because of the long laps. Keep in mind that due to air restriction a V8 endurance engine would make as much hp as a V12.
Re: Ferrari P4/5 Competizione Confirmed
Jim, would love to see this car in Targa Tasmania one day when you convert it back to be a road registered car. If you are not familiar with the event, watch Eric Bana's Love the Beast which Leno was also involved with. Just don't ask Eric about his crash there.
