For those interested, I would like to share one of my most complex works here on TNF, which will certainly be of interest to someone. 
 
In the 55th anniversary of Ferrari's victorious campaign in the European Hill Climb championship, I decided to develop a special that tells about the mythical journey of the 212E, this unique and spectacular car in the history of the Scuderia.
 
The research involved crossing information from the time (such as reports from AutoSprint, Auto Italiana and Automobile Revue magazines), with more contemporary reports, contained in books and other reliable sources, such as the Autodiva forum and the Revs Institute.
 
The work would be impossible without the collaboration of several groups of Italian enthusiasts, who keep invaluable archives from the 1969 European Hill Climb Championship.
 
Unlike other reports on the subject, the text delves deeply into the history of the 212E, following its development, all the races the car ran in 1969, season updates and the life of the model after being decommissioned by Scuderia Ferrari, with rare and unpublished photos of the subject.
 
It is worth remembering that the content was not monetized with the intention of being accessible to everyone.
 
The story is split in 3 parts, with each one of them acessible in the following links:
 
 
Any criticism and suggestions are welcome!
 
 
Have fun and my best regards
Lorenzo
