Ron Fellows & The Ferrari 333sp - 20 Years Later

In August of 1997, Canadian racing ace Ron Fellows scored a legendary victory in one of the most iconic prototype cars of the time - the Ferrari 333sp. After taking the pole, Fellows drove a steady pace and came home with Ferrari's first professional sports car win in Canada since the 1960's.
20 years later, now co-owner of Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Ron Fellows gets a surprise call from team & car owner Remo Ferri. Minutes late Ron is back at the wheel of the exact car in which he took that memorable victory.
Enjoy!

Love how he just arrives and jumps in, no overalls. No boots. Just gloves, a helmet and go! Fascinating!

[@davidcoggins8891]

One of the best wheelmen in the sport. Gave the Corvette team plenty of victories.

[@Edison73100]

One of the most beautiful race cars ever.

[@epistte]

The smile and laugh on Ron's face as he climbs in says that he fondly remembers the good time in this car. This is what makes racing great.

Man o man.. seeing the 333 at Lime Rock Park in the 90's, the sound of that engine and that precision gear whine was something I will never forget. Love watching these videos and hearing that engine sound is truly amazing.

[@c2jones]

I was there, too. All 333 races at Lime Rock, Watkins Glen and Mid-Ohio. From '89 to '95 all prototype sportcar events. GTU, GTO, GTP and WSC. Indeed, these videos bring back exhilarating memories. Glory days. 🏁

[@psod23]

no doubt Ron will never forget that day,,,, I'm so glad I was at that race, it was and epic day in Mosport history,,,

[@horsepower523]

What an amazing race car and that awesome Ferrari F1 car derived V12 engine sounds absolutely fantastic!

[@TheJagjr4450]

Fantastic... the look on his face when he settled into the cockpit... PRICELESS!!!

[@dzelpwr]

Nothing quite like the music of a high revving Ferrari V12 at full song.

[@rbf1racing141]

I was at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park ( at the time the track was called Mosport) with my uncle to see that race!!! Was a totally awesome race!!

[@jcgabriel1569]

You can see how much he loved being reunited with the car he raced all those years ago. Those fist pumping in the air as he pulled into the pits, as though he had just won yet another race with his old steed...

[@Boomer850]

I was at that race 20 years ago , sitting at 5b, love that car, and the v12 sound.

[@tatocorvette]

My favorite driver. Met him at Corvette Racing. The coolest guy. The Mayor of Mosport! You can feel how he is genuinely enjoying it. He drives it like if he owns the place! Oh wait.. he does! 🙂

[@saleemwaheed9956]

It's always a pleasure to see Ron Fellows!

[@andrewsmoak96]

It's a F1 motor! The engine was a modified version of the 65 degree V12 engine used in the 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula One car, enlarged to 4.0 L and producing 641 hp (650 PS; 478 kW).[1]

[@horsepower523]

That is correct

[@Terry-bw7qk]

Had to be a real treat! Glad that Remo Ferri could make the car available, and nice to see Ron wheeling it around the track.

[@ramon709]

Such an amazing car. This car together with the Mazda 787B are my favorite race cars.

[@boyfrmnewyork]

I was there that day for Ron's race win, it was awesome!

[@Kurswagen]

Great to see the old champ looking forward to driving his winning car again. Forza Ferrari.

[@kimwarfield1587]

Great driver in my favorite car.

[@elmadi7391]

Thank you for posting !

[@Impulse_auto_cars]

Ron smooth with it!!!

[@crsantin]

Straight from the rental car into the Ferrari 333 LOL.

[@WaterdownBOY]

thanks for sharing great video

[@fabiosang22]

The best car

[@jeffwagner8690]

00:12 LOL, WHAT? I would love to know who and where these surprised people were that weekend, my Dad and I sure didn't see any. He was put in the car for a reason! Ron not only Qualified P1 but also broke the Qualifying Track Record! He was EVEN asked for Mosport pointers by Full-Time Driver Rob Morgan (I read), Ron pointed out he was lifting too much at the top of turns #1, and #2, also Ron STARTED the Race. BOTH speak volumes as he wasn't the Full-Time Driver!

[@thunderboltcalgary1559]

Ohhh..... Ron Fellow drives GTR super cool

[@joshfellows9601]

Looks like a fun car to drive

[@pitrow66]

Very cool video.

[@Talon173]

Great car, great driver, great track.....but, really...no fire suit?

[@claudiomarangone614]

“In a straight line that thing hauls ass”

[@zounds13]

So weird to see someone get into one of these and drive it in street clothes.
