In 1972, Ferrari dominated the Manufacturers' Championship with 10 wins out of 10 races. But it chose not to participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In the Ferrari archives, we found documents explaining this historic decision, and we reveal the background in the official magazine of the Prancing Horse.
It is a fascinating story that also sheds new light on the name of the Sport Prototype used that year, the 312 P, and provides unprecedented background information on the participation of a team that is part of Ferrari's history.
