In 1949 Chico Landi drove the ACB Ferrari in F2 configuration at Bari (June 12) and Monza (June 26). Back home Landi participated in 2 Brazilian races, Belo Horizonte in August, and Boa Vista in September, both with a Maserati 4CL.
Next appearance of Landi I only have one year later at Boa Vista (Sep 1950), and Interlagos (Oct 1950), this time with the Ferrari 166 FL.

Questions:

Where was the ACB/Landi Ferrari between Monza (June 1949) and Boa Vista (Sep 1950)?
Where was Landi between Sep 1949 and Sep 1950? He even missed the complete 1949/50 Temporada.
Any photos of the ACB/Landi Ferrari from 1950 or 1951? Last one I have is from Monza 1949, and then again the car in 1952 configuration which is different.

Landi was to have taken part in the II Premio Cronica Esportive Bandairante on 30 April 1950 but his car was a non-starter as he blew up his engine during practice.

John, do you know which car?

[humphries]

No. The report did not say but I suspect it was the Maserati.

I am looking for information concerning the Ferrari 375/50 375-2 driven by C.Landi at Monza 1951.

I know that during the trail session I tested a new 625 500-001 (n.12 with yellow triangle band )

http://www.faspnet.c...noticia_id=3141

but due to a mechanical failure He swapped for the 375 no.12 (qualified 16 retired during first lap)

I heard that the 375 was red with a simple yellow band on the nose (someone says that the band had moustache-like extension on the nose side) but I never succeeded in finding one pic.

Do you know any book or magazine issue where is possible to find a clear pic of this car?

McWidow,

Piero Casucci has written a triple set called "Ferrari Formula 1" (Profile Quattro Ruotine). In part one (1948-63) on page 16 there is a picture of what looks like the pre-race line-up at the pits. Car #12 is clearly visible. It is a 375 without a headrest. It does carry a nose band, just like the other Ferrari's. Not yellow, but darker: blue or green. No moustache shape as far as I can see (left hand side). Possibly blue like the winner Ascari as I also saw a picture of Ascari in practice with a 375 without headrest.

Very nice film footage of Landi in his winning Ferrari. As the 1968 year mentionned is obviously non-sense, we would have to work it out by ourselves to find the correct date and location. I guess the the number 16 T26C Talbot could give a clue.

The film starts showing its title: "Landi de novo", Portuguese for "Landi again". A good clue as Landi raced often at Interlagos and won a lot. In 1950 he had a Ferrari 125C (04C). He raced it several times at Interlagos (as well as Boa Vista). He won three times with it at Interlagos:
1/10/1950 Prêmio Sílvio Padilha Interlagos 1st
25/1/1951 GP van Interlagos 1st
13/05/1951 Prêmio Governador Lucas Nogueira Garcez 1st

This was a very succesful period in his career. So the year must have been 1951, either 25th of January or the 13th of May.
