The D50 is one of the greatest 'outside of the box' thinking of that era. I don't know how often the cars would interlock their wheels with each other, but those side pods would surely limit that.
@driverjamescopeland8 ай бұрын
That wasn't the purpose of the "side pods". It was still an open wheel car, and wheel-to-wheel contact would still result in poor consequence. The purpose was to fill the turbulent volume between the front and rear tires, reducing drag at speed... while also providing a convenient space to carry fuel.

The video fails to properly differentiate between the Lancia D50 and the heavily modified Ferrari D50. The cutaway at 3:08 is a short nose Ferrari D50, and the footage at the very end, at Goodwood, is a long nose Ferrari D50 from the 1956 season. The cutaway at 3:08 does not have pontoon fuel tanks like the Lancia D50, as you indicate. Ferrari integrated the side pods into the body work, relocated the rear oil filters to the front of the radiator (which is why even the short nose Ferrari D50 has a longer nose than the older Lancia), and only the exhaust is located inside the side pods, rather than underneath the car. Other important changes, besides the engine: Narrower bodywork, narrower wheel base, longer tail (that's where the only fuel tank is on the Ferrari D50) and Englebert tires instead of Pirelli.

The Lancia D50 was a brilliant and nimble handling car but was tricky on the limit from all accounts. Who knows how great Lancia could have been if they had continued past 1955 but formula 1 is a very expensive sport for big companies with vast reserves of money. They did the right thing by gifting their team & cars to Ferrari for further development and stay in Italy. Vincenzo 's funeral was on Feb.17 1937 not 1955. Good video ,just check some of your dates.

the DOB mentioned for lancia's Founder and his son cannot be right. 1881 birthday of the founder and 1891 birthday of the son.... so founder had his kid at the age of 10? ..... i highly doubt that and wiki says: 16 November 1924 - 30 June 2014 plus if you look at Vittorio Jano and Gianni Lancia next to eachother at 1:27 you can CLEARLY see Vittorio is significantly older. so i think dates for vittorio were used for Gianni his dates by mistake.

Alberto Ascari left ferrari because enzo was a cheap MF, cheap being synonymous with the ferrari brand, and enzo had no respect for him. enzo never had respect for anything except himself and Mussolini... Ascari leaving for Lancia and having a better car, did not sit well with enzo. This whole thing of Lancia having to sell what was the best car at the time was all arranged by enzo. And it is not clear how Alberto had his accident either or if it was sabotage. Lancia was clearly threatened and HAD to sell to ferrari. Like always ferrari copied and took all the credit for another persons work. ferrari is a sh*t brand. The best cars to have been made in Italy were by former Ferrari employees or by people who were insulted by enzo ,or his cheap cars. Even a tractor manufacturer made a better car. ps yes the omission of capital letters in the words enzo and ferrari were done on purpose.

You are right on the money. The Lancia company and family were loved and respected in Italy and we're the most innovative and progressive. When Lancia went bankrupt in 1955 and gifted the team,engineers and cars to Ferrari it was to keep it in Italy . Enzo was a poacher of talent and ideas and did not treat people well. The tractor maker did make better cars.
