As requested by Mark DENNY.
The last two races of the 1964 F1 season, which took place in the US and Mexico, saw the red 158s of Ferrari painted in the American white-and-blue, and entered by Luigi Chinetti's NART outfit.
How did that come to happen? Weeks before, the FIA had disqualified Ferrari from the International Championship for GT Manufacturers due to Maranello failing to produce the minimum 100 exemplars of the mid-engined 250 LM. Enzo Ferrari felt that the Automobile Club d'Italia failed to defend his interests with the FIA, and in protest decided not to field his cars wearing the Italian national racing colors.
That, however, didn't stop Big John Surtees from clinching the Drivers Championship in a spectacular Mexican GP and becoming the first and only driver to achieve the feat and win a World Motorcycle Championship.
Package includes Surtees' #7 and Bandini's #8 cars for Bazza's Ferrari 158, included in the GPL 1500cc mod.
