Amazing one-two-three finish in the Daytona 24-Hours on February 5th 1967 courtesy of Bandini-Amon in a Ferrari 330 P4 spider, Parkes-Scarfiotti in a Ferrari 330 P4 berlinetta and Pedro Rodriguez-Guichet in a Ferrari 412 P. The fact that this fantastic victory came on American soil, and thus right on Ford’s doorstep was made even sweeter by the way the team played it so that the cars would cross the line side by side. Ferrari won the International Sports-Prototype Manufacturers’ Championship thanks to this victory, along with the win in the Monza 1000 Km, again thanks to Bandini and Amon, second place at Brands Hatch and at Le Mans 24-Hours, and a third place finish at Spa-Francorchamps.
The 330 P4 was an evolutionary design based on previous seasons’ experience, and It majored on reliability as well as out-and-out speed. This was the last in a series of sports-prototypes that started in 1961 and was honed almost to perfection over the intervening years. The P4’s engine had three valves per cylinder, fuel injection and twin ignition. It could also keep its power output of 122 hp/litre up for 24 hours, as it ably demonstrated in endurance racing. The Ferrari Can-Am models used for the North American racing series were also derived from the P4.
